T.B.C...


I begged you to stay for the night, to hold me in your arms so I could sleep

But in your mind I was asking for something else

When I asked you to stay what did you hear instead?

When I said just to sleep at which point did you not understand?

You wanted hot skin and slick flesh so close a nun would blush before putting a ruler between us.

I think that is the difference between us

I say what I mean and mean what I say

You like to play games and expect me to know what you want
