Burning Boundaries

 


His eyes were thunder, hers quiet flame. 
They met where silence forgot its name.
A breath too close, a glance too long, 
The world kept saying, “This is wrong.”
But rules dissolve where skin remembers, 
And hearts ignite like hidden embers.
She touched his soul without a word, 
He kissed her pain until it blurred.
No vows were spoken, no truths confessed
Just stolen nights and lips possessed.
They danced on edges, broke through fire,
Not love, not lust, but raw desire.

He touched me like a secret, 
Soft and slow, as if my skin held answers 
He would wait years to know.
I kissed him like a whisper, 
Quick and wrong, 
But his lips stayed longer than
I would have planned all along.
He left her for me
I left him for guilt. 
But the night we burned still 
Lives in what we built.
Now I lie beside another, 
But I feel him in my breath. 
His name is in my silence, 
His memory in my chest.
He came back with eyes that begged,
But I had someone new. 
Still, when he said my name, 
My body almost moved.
I wear restraint like perfume, 
But it fades when he’s near. 
He was the kiss I shouldn’t have
The one I still hold dear.

I feel you in the quiet, 
In the way the night breathes.
Your name lives in my skin, 
Like a secret, I never leave.
You walked away with guilt in your eyes,
But I still taste your fire. 
You were never mine to hold, 
But always mine to desire.
I see you in the mirror, 
In the curve of my smile. 
You haunt the space between 
What’s wrong and what feels right.
I lie beside another, 
But you’re the one I crave. 
Your touch was never gentle
It was the kind that stays.
I ache where you once kissed me, 
Where your hands knew my truth. 
You were the storm I let go, 
But I still dance in your proof.
You belong to someone else, 
But you still live in me. 
And every time I breathe, 
I wonder if you see.

She lit me once, not gently, 
But like a match struck in the dark. 
I burned for her, and she walked away
As if fire were meant to be forgotten.
But I don’t forget. I don’t forgive. 
I don’t cool down.
She left me with heat in my veins,
A taste I never asked to lose. 
Now I chase her shadow, not for love
But to make her feel what I still feel.
I see her smile for someone else, 
But I know how her lips tremble. 
I know how her breath catches
When I am near.
She was mine once.
She will be mine again. 
Not because she wants it
But because I do.

I’ve played the gentleman long enough
Watched you smile like it didn’t ache. 
But I see it in your eyes, 
The way they tremble 
When I breathe too close.
You wear happiness like borrowed silk,
Soft, beautiful, but never yours. 
I know how your skin remembers me
How your pulse betrays your silence.
You burn for me. 
I feel it when you flinch from my touch, 
When your lips part like 
They’ve forgotten how to lie. 
We built walls to protect 
What we couldn’t resist
But I’m done pretending.
I want your truth, the one 
Tat lives beneath your breath, 
The one that rises when
I whisper your name.
Let me trace the fire you hide,
Press my hunger into yours, 
And melt the distance 
We swore to keep.
You’re not his. You never were.
And I’m not here to behave anymore.
