Have you ever stopped to wonder
did you wonder why you stopped?
can you fix it, is it broken
is it now forever lost?
is it sitting at the bottom
of your heart somewhere instead
can you hear it, constantly
softly slamming in your head.
Have you seen it, can you smell it
did you taste the salted time
fragile pieces to recover
best we leave it all behind.
I don’t know now
so I wonder
tell me something
I don’t know
is it better?
damn I miss you
yes, I know, I know, I know.
It’s so simple, our perspective
but I don’t believe my ears
this i’m saying, ‘aint it heavy
feel it breathing as it nears.
coming closer, I am with you
welcome we don’t need to be
this is nothing worth comparing
It’s just lust and you and me.

There’s a purity amongst the darkness here….feel it breathing as it nears Poignant and yet menacing at the same time. Delicious.

this piece means a lot to me not sure how you meant it but i have just found out my husband has cheated on me and yet i still feel that want and that lust for him does that make me stupid.

This is all so very true.
Lust is wonderful as long as it does not harm you.
Nicole this is so cleverly written and flowed so nicely too.
