I lay in the bed of deception
Next to a man so deep-hearted and charming
His sheets the scent of another
Deviant bliss my darkest desire
The only secret I’ve never told
A tempestuous lover my silent affair
Yet only in moments such as these
When tongues and limbs cling to fleeting minutes
In desperation to feel any thrill of love

A man so lustful for my touch
I’ve waited patiently for my turn
High school days when I would secretly observe
This creature of sex, prowling eyes secretly mine
Now I sit alone on cold and gloomy nights
Thinking of him and his tired woman
Laying annoyingly in bed together
Bickering about the house cleaning or the phone bill
Staying together never seemed so heartbreaking

Text messages haunting lonely nights
With a glow of soft green
Against my black bedroom wall
Love notes tug on that little devil
Like a child needy for a mother’s comfort
I can not resist this dark and beautiful power over me

He stares into green eyes burning souls
With euphoric flame of passion
Lips drawn near like magnets exploding in a raging fire
My body nirvana. His nirvana.
I memorize the scent of his body against mine
For I know next time is not certain
Smooth, dark flesh the object of day dreams
And anxious waiting on cold winter nights
We are destined to meet
