"Inside"

Outside the snow falls as it desires

and the wind howls like a lonely wolf in the night. 

The chilly air rapidly overtaking the dying fire 

as the moon hangs in the sky, glowing bright. 

Wine glasses empty next to the discarded

carafe on that wooden table by the door. 

The two of us first started 

talking and it led to so much more. 

Pulses quickened and emotions grew stronger 

leading us to where they've always led in the past. 

Only this time we lasted longer 

and time stood still even though the hours went by fast. 

Sweaty and exhausted I now stand in the shower 

trying to replay the night's events in my mind. 

Left alone to think of the passion and power 

that I didn't know was even in me to find. 

I'm left with a memory of you 

that I know I'll never be able to forget. 

A wave of emotions anew 

but among them will there never be regret. 

I wanted to know you from the inside 

so I took you apart. 

I found the "you" you try to hide

and as a trophy I stole your heart.
