Detective Clues. 1.


simply unforgettable,
like a song that refuses to leave your lips,
or a wind that knocks on your windows, late at night,​
​you knew there was more to my story.
something hidden, something unsaid. 
did you find the clues i had left? 
in between my thighs, behind my ear,
my clutched fingers betraying my innocence.
did you find the fiery hints of desire,
between the breathless gasps of utter surrender, 
as you explored the depths of me? 
did you see my eyes give away my desperate need,
to feel your hands inside me,
searching for an alibi, when you knew I had none?
were you looking for the lies my hips might tell
when you rummaged through my hungry body?
spent and speechless, after hours,
like an interrogation that never leaves the room, 
my hair carried the scent of your passion, 
as i walked past unsuspecting gatekeepers.  
did you find the signs of the struggle,
of my mind and my heart fighting over you? 
did you finally put the pieces together, when we locked eyes, 
as the orange sky peeked through the curtain,
revealing the remnants of our kisses, 
scattered across the room, and splattered on the walls? 
did you look at me and see me smiling as i got away with it?
i am guilty, i declare, at last. 
i wasn't looking to love,​ ​but you made me want to do it.
