After hours of thrashing about in bed, I hear the front door open and close, signaling it's time for me to play possum. Edward tiptoes about the room, no doubt praying I don’t wake.

You thought I would be out of your reach, if I knew who you really were.You trust me now.Welcome to Lush, keep safe, be good Funny how the greatest temptation turned out to be you. I fell further than I thought I would; your protection no guard in your case.You want me now.Hey I know you, your story rejectedDon’t ch...

Without a touch I feel you Igniting my imagination With the intangible Looking at me that way Eating me up Keeping it up A visual screw Feeding my imagination Wanting like you Coming back for moreI’m your whore Taking my imagination Though I wear a suit And sensible shoes I meet you unlaced Releasing my imagination Monotonous discussion Disloyal to my thoughts Lukewarm words hide Heated acts Patience Delay Reward Celebrat...
