Lui

The night was young 
                 but the moon       waned
His breath I could feel
       across           my          neck
His words were like a spell
          h  
             y

             c     
 leaving me heart beating WiLdLy
His touch as soft as silk
Long c.a.l.l.o.u.s.e.d fingers trailed d
                                                       o

                                                       n my back
His lips were cherry sweet, 
pressedagainstmine.

My body seared in heat,
my breaths were u   ne      v    e               n
as he moved in me

I felt a sharp       SHOCK , 
a surge of pleasure and pain 
filled me.

The night went on .....................
and so did our adventures.

His face I held in my hands: his fingers buried in my hair.

He was a f      et
                   le      ing dream,

a lost affair.
My lover, my best friend.
Condemned for his actions.

I sleep here:
 in the arms of another man.
The pain I feel, I clench my teeth
 always thinking it was him instead.
