Read Between the Lines

He flutters my heart
He hardens my heart
and weakens my knees.
and knocks out my knees.
He flushes my face
He pinches my face
and muddles my dreams.
and haunts my dreams.
He draws me near,
He pulls me near,
I won't turn away.
I can't turn away.
He whispers to me,
He whispers to me,
what should I say?
what can I say?
My throat runs dry
My throat becomes sore
and my head turns numb.
and my head turns numb.
My hands start to sweat
My hands start to shake
and my mouth goes dumb.
and my mouth goes dumb.
He brings me closer.
He drags me closer.
I will always remember
I have to remember
when first he kissed me,
when first he beat me,
the last day of December.
the last day of December.
