She Caught Him

(Quick note: Since this one is my favorites, I decided to put it all in italics^^; There’s no other real reason for it.)

She watched him as he stopped to take a breath

He’d been running forever and was ready to collapse

So he fell in her arms and she caught him

She lifted his face so that they saw eye to eye

Her nails dug into his skin, breaking the soft surface

He winced in pain but did not bleed

She pressed her lips onto his mouth

Nibbling at the sides, swallowing all his air

And when she was finished, she stepped back

He was scared as a child facing his worst nightmare

And he was furious to think he could be weak enough

To surrender to a woman

So he got up and turned to run away

Quick as time, she grabbed his wrist and held him

Her eyes watered, begging him not to go

He got out of her grasp and tried to flee

He tried to escape from the love she was offering

But as petrified as he was, he didn’t know where to go

And then he decided to stay with her

He promised to love her; he was tired of running away

So he fell back in her arms and she caught him
