head to toe.

we shiver
head to toe
drunken smiles
noses reddening
cheeks begin to blush
open wide, let the wine slide
down our throats
into our bellies

i shudder
head to toe
stumble slightly
kiss me lightly
catch me by the waist
open eyes, let me be wise
in my heart
& in my mind.


you shake
head to toe
teeth chatter
goosebumps raise
i can try to heat you up
close your arms, turn on your charms
"i'll be yours
if you'll be mine"

so we share
skin to skin
secret smiling
voice beguiling
feeling tricked, i let you in
open eyes, realize disguise
i am yours
but you're not mine.


you shed
head to toe
sheep's clothing
flash a wolfish grin
you hid it all too well
open wide, spill out the lies
feel no guilt
& no surprise

i shatter
head to toe
didn't expect it
thought you meant it
guess i had it wrong again
lock my heart, falling apart
refuse to remember
who, where, or when.
