on a night i want burned deep into the flesh
of my memory
like a burn
a scar that will never fade
i hold tightly
to you
the stranger
with a smile that lit a fire somewhere deep inside me
long strong nimble fingers
that floated through the air along with your words
my legs quivering beneath the weight of your
lips on mine
i know i will soon forget
the scar will fade
slipping off my memory bank
back into the darkness of my mind
so i must hold on now
hold on as tight as i can
until i know i must let go
feeling should not be wasted
despite time being ever fleeting
putting down the rope
