You look at me like
my lips
are about to release that rapid fire
my lips
Are the last line of defence
your black
eyes wide
Your back
arches
but your hips stay
they don’t give it away
But your eyes
your eyes
give it away
Tentatively
You wait for the words
Tick
Tick
You’re waiting
Baited
Breath
tick
Tick
I can tell
something about me
Speaks to something in you
Your eyes
Dart from side to side
Searching
for that light switch in the dark
Illuminating me
Revealing me
Once
and for all
Like you just can see it
like you caught a glimpse
of a shadow behind my eyes
when you were looking at my lips
if I would just open
My lips
You could be sure
Pull that pin
and see
if it explodes
Your eyes know the answer
But your hips wont listen
