TELL ME

Tell Me

My hazy eyes met her crystal irises

As another bass dropped

And drunken ‘woo’s pervaded an overpacked basement.

The lights illuminated for sparse moments

But I had already found what I was looking for

In your eyes.

That familiar face of grace

I had the honor to see so often.

Glances were returned

And smiles were exchanged.

Like an angel of death, you floated to me

I guess it was my time.

In our alcohol-augmented field of vision

We danced like figure skaters.

My hands graced your hips

As your hand ruffled into my hair.

Our smiles grew closer and closer until

Our lips were begging to get acquainted.

You grabbed my shirt and pulled me into your world.

Slow-motion songs swayed by as the night welcomed our lust.

We walked home arm in arm

Looking at the stars and laughing at fate.

Like cracks in the sidewalk,

We were tripping over each other.

Our lips met again in the elevator.

Our clothes fell on the floor

Like confetti, celebrating what was to come

The door closed

Leaving the world away.

Leaving only our skin

And our lust

To be utilized as one.

. . .

We lie in bed.

Whisper to me.

Please,

Tell me everything you’ve ever wanted to say.
