he reached around her body
to the soft underbelly
and with a kiss pulled out a heart
that she had left unguarded
his attention was her intent
and her body was his instrument
and he played her
hypnotic rhythms up and down her spine
let the fantasy build and climb
craving in the maximum tension
stopping just short of completion

her rhythms lost his time
she fumbled to fix the broken with rewind
breathe the pain inside
he could never be her rhyme
the real hits hard
letting it all in to heal her scars
painting the heart shape over
embracing it all to move forward
and he played her...

his weight caused a break so deep it resonates
rebuild, embrace the heartache completely
and let the pain in sweetly
