throw away your birthday suit.

this is a game.
here are the rules.
you have a one night stand.
you care, he doesnt.
those are the rules.
do you wish to play?

unabashed lust is not for the faint hearted,
you must be strong, intact.

he will play with you,
touch you lovingly,
convince your soul,
your pulse completes a marathon
by the time you both are done.
fullfilled exhaustion excreted with every heavy breath.

and then you'll fall asleep,
pretend for a moment that this is true,
that this one night will last forever,
you sleeping in the arms of your human heater,
never letting go, feeling whole.

early the next morning, you have to leave.
obligations tug you away,
when all you want to do is stay.

from then on out,
you never speak of that night,
you may never even speak again,
and that is the game you have entered obliviously.
