TAKE THE FALL

The moment I saw you I drew in a deep breath Like taking a sip of water from the River of Lethe. You awakened my appetite and all I want is to consume Every kiss, every lick…I wear it like perfume. And when when I’m squeezing you tightly and can’t bear to let go, You say something funny and it’s impossible not to know That you are someone who will change me, good or bad, who’s to say? You have my complete attention and it’s hard to keep at bay The yearning and complete adoration I have for you. It felt like crawling through hell and arriving home; a life born anew. I’m vulnerable and it’s not something I appreciate at all. But the universe thought differently; and yes, I’ll take the fall.
