Falling In Lust

How far have I fallen
How far should I fall
Do I want to
Fall any further
At all?

I’ve let you fall
Naked
Against me
In bed but
I can’t let you
Fall into
That place
In my head.

Falling
Against you feels
Fun and feels safe but
Falling for you? No.
That’s a whole
Different space.

But I know that I could.
And I know that I would.
Because if I did
I know you’d be good
At reading my moods
And taking the lead
And pushing me
When you know
It’s what I need.

I’ve stepped off the ledge.
I’ve started to fall.
I’m plummeting fast
Arms flailing
And failing
To catch hold of a wall.

I’ve given you keys
To my head, home and heart.
I think too much about you
When we are apart.
I’ve let you get in
And you’ve let me belong
In your life
With your wife
And I know
it’s so wrong.

But you say the right words.
You know all the right lines.
You give me just enough
To pretend that you’re mine.
You make my head spin
With this thing that we’re in
And the heat can’t be worth
The price of the sin.

But when your skin
Is on mine
In my bed
Late at night
It doesn’t feel wrong
It feels so
Fucking
Right
