THE EMBRACE

Shut up and hold me
Words that knocked me off balance 
And shook me to the core 

I want to feel your embrace 
Let the beating of your heart 
Massage my thoughts 

Your lips are becoming a spoiler 
They are full and kissable 
But your much talking 
Is destroying the night

I am as a lame gazelle 
Unable to move 
When I'm In your arms
And as a tired fawn
Overtaken by your strong arms 

No predatory actions are required 
Just opened your mouth 
And I will feed myself to you
Devour me to your satisfaction 

But first,
Shut up and hold me
Let me feel your embrace.
