Just Lust

Folder: 
Dedications

I know the curve of your shoulder,
the dips in your chest.

 

The shape of you is one
I know by heart.

 

I've run my hands across so many times;
I can trace you with my eyes closed.

 

I know the pucker of your mouth
when you smile and pull me close.

 

Muscle memory can find
your lips in the dark.

 

Maybe I was just enamored
with your body.

 

Physical attraction
took over reason.

 

Your magnetism was stronger
than my rationality.

 

I didn't love you;
it was just lust.
