When love is a whirlwind, then leaves you in a million pieces.

You bit me- roped me in

like a ragdoll.

Weak in the knees,

I didn’t resist.

A single touch- climax.

Drenched in the dark,

My body was yours.

Lips so supple- fire.

Temptation took over- lust inside.

Explosion, I reminisce.

Desire- now marred.

I am disgust.

A single thought- invasion.

No longer together,

ripped at the stitches.

I rescind feeling.
