Work Text:

Our eyes are locked, we share one heart
I can not seem to break free.
My arms ache, your lips part.
The world moves like the sea.

We stand still...forever it seems.
Time does not exist.
We share for a moment secret dreams.
But...we must resist.

My eyes pull away, our hearts become our own.
I feel at once the whispered pain that screams through the night.
I suppress the eager burning with a soft and weary moan.
I turn from you. I flee from you. I hide from you, my light.

You call my name. I hear your voice. I hear your aching need.
I can not stop. I will not stop. I do not have control.
I am flame. I am fire. I burn and can not heed.
I taste your smell, I am your heat...I am lost in your soul.

I fight myself, I battle vainly, crying out in torment
I throw myself into the night, landing in the cool grass, wrapped in it’s embrace.
I am lost in the hazel of your eyes, in your cool and untamed scent.
All I am, all I should be, is lost. I see nothing but the beauty of your face.

I feel you near, hear your breath, hard and husky from giving chase.
You throw yourself into the dewy grass, your arms pulling me near.
I am stronger and I resist, but I can not resist your taste.
Your mouth on mine, your breath is mine, thee are mine. I no longer fear.

Under your moon, under your spell. I can not deny.
I did not know life before you and now I breathe at last.
I hold you close, closer still, without you I die.
My mouth on yours, my breath is yours, I am yours, at last.
