Eye flicker across the room
That silent acknowledgment of secret passions
Vows made without words, with bodies
Underneath the intoxicated lunar eclipse
I am no match for the sizzling stomach acid
That gnaws at my insides when you mention “her”
Or when your leg brushes mine in passing
Or simply when our bashful eyes dance quickly
A tango of who can be most apathetic
But if both of us run who will chase
The hot, stinging blush brands me with my thoughts
I squelch my desires for now
I should have been more strange, I must confess
I’m a wreck in your wake, I’m the earth in your quake
I’m not sure how much more love I can take
If I can take, if you take, would you take
Me?
Would you take me?
