Perfect Sin |
starr
|
No angel
|
1 |
will speak of what we did
|
2 |
and what it was:
|
3 |
a perfect sin.
|
4 |
|
|
A perfect time
|
5 |
to be close again,
|
6 |
|
|
I was still a child
|
7 |
in your embrace;
|
8 |
|
|
tongue's wet texture,
|
9 |
indigo,
|
10 |
|
|
perfect moment,
|
11 |
perfect place.
|
12 |
|
|
Your mother
|
13 |
should have known
|
14 |
the perverted thoughts that filled your head.
|
15 |
|
|
Not her "precious middle son,"
|
16 |
yet it was me in your hot bed.
|
17 |
|
|
Easy lay, easy prey-
|
18 |
I was born by your sister;
|
19 |
the same blood flowed within
|
20 |
as we shared a best kept secret,
|
21 |
something sacred between kin
|
22 |
|
|
and no angel
|
23 |
will speak of
|
24 |
what we did.
|
25 |
|
|
I played with matches too
|
26 |
as a kid.
