she said

she would be sick
if i wrote
another sloppy ode
about her
or another erotic scene
in which
she knows
she is the subject
of throbbing
painful lust

i understood

so this isn’t
another ode
to her
being beautiful
or the subject
of my every
sexual desire
at all
even if
it is all true

she said

not to do
the only thing i did
but i didn’t mention
her legs
how i wish they were
wrapped around me
as my teeth
find her collar bone
as she moans in my ear

i didn’t

say how
she makes me melt
when she
smiles at me
how staring
in her eyes
is my favorite thing
to do
except for kissing
her lips

because she said

she would be sick
if i wrote
another sloppy ode
about her
or another erotic scene
in which
she knows
she is the subject
of throbbing
painful lust
