TURN-ONS

When I tell you 
I need understanding 

like a drug, 
it sounds degrading. 
But 

the way you can't 
give me 
what I want 

is so hot. 

*

Which do you think 
is sexier? 

my neediness 
or

the way I pretend 
not to lie to you 
about it? 

*

In my experience...
you start to say,

because the truth 
is just not 

the party dress 
you're looking for—

the truth 
is that wet muzzle 

of authority 
pressing so warmly

against you that it's 
soothing.
