mistake to ache

Oh I should know better,
know better than to dance close
when I know you remember
the smell of my hair,
and your hands still remember
the weight of my breasts,
and your eyes never lost
the I want you look.
Six years we've been dancing
and always I call an end
just before the fall,
and you rage at me
for what you call pretended coy,
and say that I can't be shy---
not of you,
after all the times
you sank your finger into my hair
and held me as if my kiss
was the last bit of free air
and I were so much more
than a Saturday diversion.
You remind me always
to keep my distance,
while you knees settles between mine.
I hear you, but do not believe,
because the truth of it
rags your breath
when you say my name
like the last desperate oath of god
by a man sinking for the last time...
