THE PRIVILEGE

That in a room of a thousand prying eyes, only yours could undress me,

That in a sea of roaming hands, only yours could explore the intricacies of my body,

That in a world ablaze with desire and lust, only yours could ignite mine,

Surely was a privilege you took for granted

That I never saw the faltering of the purity of your smile,

That in my drunken love haze I failed to notice your embrace turn cold,

That my tear stains went unnoticed by you even when we were entangled in the most intimate manner,

Surely was a lapse of judgement I mistook for love

    This was beautiful, it has an African touch to it. I love the voice the tone and the energies entangled in it, I may just be a weird one but I can feel when something Is different, clean and unlike anything anyone could write on the same topic. It’s your own unique voice and I like how it pushes through and light up the meaning behind the words.
