loose

cassie steele

in the pit of my chest i can feel it coming

bubbling to the surface

giving away no warning

i can feel my fingers running up and down the glass

in the back of my throat tastes like fire mixed with ash

things are getting loose

so let me tell the truth

whenever i'm with you

i know what to do

you don't have to say much

i can read your quiet

you could be with anyone

but i have got it

can't you see by my face it's no ordinary night

dipped in ink and instinct

i know exactly what you like

underneath the cloak of night

with our lips i'll stay in the light

nothing's safe when we're undressed

but tonight feels beneath the rest

watching all my rules go up in smoke
