One Night


The stare we shared melted lust or love down my spine.

It was about 4am

Im extra sensitive about that time cuz you know Im reppin that cancer sign. A sign ruled by Luna is divine.

It sometimes controls these actions of mine. The moon has me spinning and it was your hands that caught me.

Lust has me thinking some things of you and I. what the heat would be like created between us 2.

Hard hitting and friction can start a fire, Just with no clothes involved is the way we both desire.

The stare had a few fireworks in it or maybe some dynamite in it.

My body felt a few intricate measures that I havent felt in a while, A few sparks that make electricians smile.

A flowing that lied dormant. Something that an 18 year old couldnt think of yet.

The love in that stare remained light and confusing, The lust is what my body is abusing.

The sight of you had my heart entangled in a few wires that sparks jolted from.

A couple of words exchanged had me thinking of a white dress and a few doves.

I let love get confused because your hangds filled with sin had my heart singing lullibies so my mind could rest.

These thoughts of you have my mind restless. What you look like unclothed and by candlelight might be leaving me breathless.

Now that the night has lingered for a little to long, M heart is singing another song.

About regret and some shame. Although my body is to blame.

Lust and love has had my heart twisted but your proposition of a one night stand was too tempting.

Knees knocking and my spine trembling was unrelenting. But trust and believe that lust got ahead of herself.

Cuz love started to break down to dust when you said that leaving was a must.

I noticed the luggage in the corner. And I remembered that luna controlled my spirit and i started to feel a little frigid.

You didnt happen to tell me yo were catching a flight in a few hours. Disappearing from this little reality of ours.

When lust and love were battling in that stare. My focused was unfocused which for an honors student like me is rare.

Lust seemed to advance love anf make me think they were synonomous. but this night was a little ahead of us.

When i lusted for us you said you loved me. I forgot it was 4am and I had someone waiting for me.

That stare with my potential soulmate and best lover was dangerous. I will be more careful next time I confuse Love and Lust.
