Do you remember?
Do you remember
the sting of forever?

Was that moment of fervor
a sweet enough flavor?
A sharp enough razor?
A savory favor,

that night in December
Have you ever had better?
Skin melting like butter,
not a jitter or flutter,
a shudder or sputter.

That night,
when you stole my life
to make me your wife,
my body and soul
beyond my control
Do you remember?

I never wanted forever
that night in December.
