Breathe
Mary E. McDonald 1968 (NY)
The heat
The fire
The need
Unbearable
Unthinkable
Undeniable
The passion
The spark
I feel your power over me
I have no will
I have given myself to you completely
I feel you on my skin
I feel your eyes bore into me
I feel like a teenager inside
I feel alive…
You have awakened my senses
You have given me life
I can breathe
