ah
don't pay any attention to this wine
I always drink at least one bottle
with casual friends in the middle of the night
and don't pay any attention to the fact that i'm lying on the bed
there's really no place else
after all
I didn't pay any attention to you at your place
when you wore a loose knit sweater
with nothing underneath
when I could see the soft pink of your nipples
but kept a detached eye
so
don't pay any attention to my hands
as they play seeing eye games
they mean nothing
my heart racing
only a shortness of breath
it's really nothing to concern yourself with
so
just drink your wine and we'll talk about all sorts of things
and i won't pretend to be interested
and you won't have to play hard to get
because
I won't be chasing you
so
don't pay any attention
to my eyes as they undress you
to my smile as it caresses your thighs
or the slight trickle of blood
that runs down my cheek
it's just that i've bitten my tongue with desire
