Watch your step..

Be careful not to fall in the deep abyss

When you get in your feelings saying I love you, give me a hug, give me a kiss

Look both ways before you cross the street

Look both ways before you cross that line, that path, that thin strand of oxygen you have before someone comes and takes away with three single words and a gentle touch

Oo when he touches my curves, my feelings, my nerves

He brings my body to life

He whispers

Sends wave after wave of chills down my spine

I shiver as he continues to touch me within this short time of pleasure not thinking

Not reading the signs

Not caring about tomorrow, today, or yesterday

My heart pounds against his clashing as one

Then the damage is done

The heat of the moment soon becomes a cold silence of regret and confusion

What have I done?

Text messages, missed calls, and voicemails I leave for him that following night but guess what
