Analysis of What he doesn't know
Unable to explain the reaction you cause,
Caressing and kissing my flaws.
Stealing all of my self control,
And setting a fire in my soul.
Exciting chills penetrate my skin,
As you ever so slightly grin.
Whispering into the darkness,
Taking pleasure in making me breathless.
Our bodies passionately intertwine,
But you are not truly mine.
My heart does so ache,
Of this I dont know what to make.
As the moon now fades,
Rushing emotions invade.
Such a friend to my demons,
How could you be this reason.
The need to have you close is dire,
Pure untouchable burning desire.
Could you truly be,
The missing part of me?
