As we touch
fingers snap like a seat belt
soft scaly skin
Sharing sweat
Whispering through the tension of How tight we hold onto each other
Whispering words that must be Broken
My hands let go
Breaking the chain
My hands reach out again
Devour something more remarkable
Gold
Reflecting in the mirror my success
Leaving you was the best
