Your eyes can see through me.
They detect everything.
There's no hiding.
I have no secrets.

Your nose can smell fear.
It reeks.
I try to mask it.
But you call my bluff.

Your ears can hear my thoughts.
You know my answers.
My thoughts are too loud.
"Put them on mute."

Your touch is electric.
Hot, fuzzy and strange.
It's a drug.
And I'm addicted to it.

Your tongue can taste defeat on my lips.
I've submitted to you.
You've won.
There's no helping me.

My senses are weak.
Too premature for resistance.
Slow and stupid.
But ready to adapt.


The author's comments:
I wrote this after months of not having written anything at all. It was inspired by how perfect I find my boyfriend to be, and how weak I feel compared to him. I love him very much, and I hope it shows through this poem subtly.
