Rescue Me

You rescue me from myself

All I need is your smile

You welcome me like no one else

I feel like I’ve finally arrived

What bonds us?

An equation from the past…

On the tricky grounds we walk,

How can we hope to grow, or last?

I’m convinced I belong
Somewhere in your world

I’m not sure how close, or for how long

But I want to stop thinking

And start taking chances

Make my decision: right or wrong

I’m tired of thinking of you all night

Of tossing and turning in my bed

I’m soaked; drowning in thoughts of you

My fantasies overpowering; I lose myself

I catch your every move

Pay attention to your every word

I even have a list of things you’re not saying

I want to flirt back

Run my fingers through your hair

Blow you a kiss when I catch you staring

I see you yearn to hold me, kiss me, to wipe my tears

I like it that our conversation never ends

To me you are a lover burning with desire, posing as a friend…

This situation is not what I asked for,

Yet you’re everything I’ve prayed for.

So tell me now, how do we begin

Dissolving our values,

To extract soul from sin?
