Please Don't Take It Easy On Me

Squeeze the edges.
Catch my breath.
Lean back.
Pretend my hands are yours.

How can't we make it?

Teeth to throats.
Blindfold.
Your fault, darling.
You're faulty.

Seven second replay.
Finally, reprieve.
Finally, fantasy.
In my head:

A happy ending.

I see the way your body moves.
I watch how you're connected.
Connect me.

Connect...
...me.

Hang on, remembering.
Gasp for air.

Pretend my hands are yours.
