Fire burning me up
With just one touch
He took me places
Like I had a sudden rush of blood flowing through my veins
Waking up places I never thought existed
I begged for mercy
But forgiveness was never served
I was like a patient in need of medicine
Given in bitter sweet portions
Forbidden
The savor of that which is prohibited
One touch
I was hypnotized
I left my body there for him to deal with
And my spirit was transported to a world where feelings are like ice cream on a cone
Apples were falling from the tree of life and I was eating all of them
I was dancing with sharks at the bottom of the deep blue ocean
Moving in ways that seemed like I was boneless
It was like a heat that could not be quenched
It took over me
I screamed louder and louder
But my loud cries seemed to only fire him up the more
I had no words to tell it
Completely consumed fire
