Falling Covers Poem by Kyle Shield Laster

And I lay me down to wake
In strong arms that remember me
Completely.
Fear rolls down my mask,
But I am physically safe and only emotionally
Endangered.
Your heart seems to reach in me
For the lie I inspired and the kisses that transpired
In the heat of the moment
During a frozen summer's night.
My eyes twinkled in another's
While we entertwined; hidden without covers
And my thighs glistened: soaked with lust.
I am the person theses arms think they can trust.
I hear a sigh.
The hold on me is slipping.
Falling covers I am gripping
As the arms turn me toward their eyes
And even more of me just dies.
