Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
damn you!
DAMN YOU!
For getting inside of me like this
For making me leave my cell
So I won't call
For making me feel so electric
By just one simple touch
Just the simple stroke
Of your finger on my neck.
DAMN YOU!
For wanting me so bad
That you make me want you
For trying to break down
My carefully constructed tough exterior
For trying to get close to the interior
DAMN YOU 3x!
. . .
DAMN YOU!
For even making me write this down
For thinking this long about this
About you
DAMN YOU!
For making my never
Turn into a maybe
Turn into a never say never.
