Ripples by Angela ThomasIf this was years ago,
I would have called you
into my arms and I would
have wound them around.
I may have taken off
my clothes, and stood
shivering in the light
before lowering myself
down, closer to you.
I would have taken what
I wanted without even
a thought and given you
everything you'd ever
dreamed of at the same time.
But, no, I am not that
naive anymore, I am
hardened, cold, and
distant.
I speak of experience
with a foriegn look and
never a tear, it's a
story that I tell, not
something that I allow
to hurt me still. Only,
of course it does.
You trail your hand along
my back, pausing in the
ripples grown with age
and laziness, causing me
to arch and ache, wanting
to feel you.
I sigh, it's the most
expression I have to tell
you to feel me, there,
in a place that, when I
am sober is guarded and
kept secret from hands
with electricity, like
yours. If I were more
naive, not so aged, I
would have taken what
I wanted. Instead, I'll
just have to survive with
those hands. 02/03/2004 Posted on 02/04/2004 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
