Are you listening
watching
the road that is taking us down
self-destruction.
speeding down the highway
with each other
I feel your heart pounding
through my chest
and the sweat from your palms
is dripping
in my lap.
the tension in your shoulders
paralyzes my muscles.
how did we get here?
I turn
to face you
as your eyes
avoid mine.
'I can't move.'
Im whispering
to get your attention.
its registering in your eyes
accentuated
by your natural
masculinity
the pain
that you know,
and I feel.
that smile
saves me everytime
while your scent
reassures my safety
those looks that you give
and the
melody in your voice
compare nothing
to your touch
that tells me
we're only just beginning.
