Tuesday I was drowned in love
Beset by concrete cheeks,
You'd have to close your eyes to feel
The frenzy-stricken heat.

Drenched in fear, but wanting more
He's wrapped around my feet,
Forgets to breathe and handles me
Now vague, unsure and weak.

Constrained to keep my mouth closed shut,
I dare not even speak,
Of how I want, and how I need
His care and his physique.

He takes a risk and parts his lips,
I part mine just to weep,
Because of what I failed to say
When we were sinking deep.

Tuesday I was drowned in love,
And out I cannot sleep,
I only guilt of what I missed
When I dared not replete.

The following is about being in a relationship and not realizing until too late that you are being emotionally corrupting.
