Biting Marks

Waking up at midnight, I feel you
Warm body curls up against me
Soft arms wrap around my chest
Firm thighs mingling closely at my knee

Opening my eyes, I see you
Long hair spread on the pillow
Biting lips in your dreams
Sound sleep like a naïve angel

Tender smile on my face, I stare at you
So hard to believe such a sweet innocent girl
Was the same wild vixen just a few hours ago

Gently my sight runs through you
Dark silky long hair
Little cute nose
Wonderful round shoulder

And that
Deep red biting mark
I just left
Reminder of
The passionate night we just had

I know tomorrow
That mark will sting
Under your clothes
Burning on your skin
Just like the same mark
You left on me

I know tomorrow
When I open my eyes again
You will be gone
We will be on our separate ways
And eventually that biting mark
Will fade

No permanent body marks
We both agreed
Just like our relationship, our affair
Not meant to last
Not meant to hurt anyone we love

But we have this right now
Let all the stings on our skin
Hidden from everyone’s eyes
Remind us that

On this one day
Our paths crossed
On this one night
Our passions shared
For once
You were mine
And I was
Yours

Closing my tearful eyes
I let myself sink into the embrace of darkness
I know that when I wake up in the morning
You will have disappeared

The things you leave with me
Are sweet bitter memories
And that temporary
Biting mark
