Just once, let me act on the lust

In my eyes

Before it reaches my heart

And tears it all to pieces.

-

Let me feel your heart beat

A steady drumming

To match mine’s

Inconsistent drone

-

Let me feel my skin warm

Just once,

Help me know what it is

To be hot and cold all over

-

Let me really see you

Without a mask

Or inconvenient feel

Clouding my view

-

Let me love you

Without knowing what love means

Or when morning is

Or why I want to care so much
