may i slip past you
silently in the night
a hidden love disguised
by my fright. my fear
of being touched by
something so dear.
so close to my heart.
allow me to move
alongside you. to move
beyond your reach.
if i promise not to
breach the sanctity
of your sins will you
begin to loosen your
grip on my hip.
agree to let me go.
