Desire's Plate
I burn with passion and desire
My body aches as if on fire
We agreed to stop what's wrong
But for you my body does long
It hurts to want you so bad
To want what shouldn't be had
But I want to feel you close to me
In my bed is were I want you to be
I'm sorry I want to make you mine
I'm sorry on pleasure I wish to dine
This desire is burning me up
But I refuse to drink of haste's cup
To fall to this when we should wait
Would be to eat of sin's plate
I want you close but it's not the time
So let's wait and avoid this crime
