A Moment's Pain

I lean my head back,
and catch my face in the curve of your shoulder.
I breathe in the smell of you,
and want to lose myself forever.

You wrap your arms around my waist,
and I wonder how someone so perfect,
could ever be mine.
What did I do to deserve you?

You whisper in my ear,
the forbidden words.
A shiver rolls through my body,
and I know you felt it too.

Electric shivers jump across my nerves,
like a full-body trampoline.
My breath catches in my lungs,
and I feel you chuckle for me breathe.

There's not enough oxygen in the room,
to satisfy the need from what you do to me.
You seems to hesitate before you touch,
as though afraid I would leave.

How could you be so foolish?
You've caught me in your spell.
I couldn't leave right now,
if it would keep my soul from hell.

I would lose myself in you,
without a second thought.
I know that what you do is rare,
not something that can be taught.

Don't worry about me,
I can take the pressure.
You know what they say.
A moment's pain for a lifetime's pleasure.
