To Late

His eyes are steel, his heart is gold, he won't let me in he wants to stay cold
his fire burns with passion and rage, his lips are lush a deep scarlet, I want to touch,
he backs away, scared to feel, scared to heal, scared to lose sight of what is real,
love is a fantasy, a game of such, it is for fools who like to think to much, what he wants is raw
undeniably forbidden, but what he has inside must stay hidden, he wants to push away the
pain, he wants to distort the line that she drew, what he wants is an unadulterated comfortable screw
She does not want to hide anymore, she wants to feel all of him, she wants to settle the score, she knows he
can't let her in, she fell in love with him, this is her immortal sin, She broke all her rules, she let herself go,
she fell so hard its time to reap what she sowed, her heart beats faster with her every breath they are nose
to nose her hands are tied so she can not touch, his eyes are bright with pure lust, she is conflicted to open
her mouth to speak, he reads her mind and brings his finger to her lips, he could not bear to hear the sound
of her voice, She simply can not know what it does to him, He had to make this choice for his own
protection, She lowers her eyes to the floor when he speaks his words baby you know, she looks back at him
tears in her eyes, he will never love her and this is goodbye, but for one last hour she will embed him in her memory, his touch, his scent, his everything, She offers herself to him for one last time, He takes his cue and he lets himself unwind, the passion, the fury the pain of it all, he buries himself in to her emotions unknown,
Something that night changed in him, something that he was unable to show, when she looked in his eyes even though she didn't want to, she let him go, Her decision was made, he would never love her this she does know so as he fell asleep silently in the bed, she left a note by his head, Thank you for the times we shared, thank you for the memories, thank you for saving me from a life of destruction, but I know you could never love someone like me, society would never approve, I don't belong in your world, I realized tonight, I will lose this fight, business turned into more, I can no longer continue being your whore. He woke with a jolt, saw the note that she wrote, with tears in his eyes he realized all the lies he ever told himself were to protect her from him, he didn't think that he could ever be everything for her, she was a beautiful woman, in every way she made him smile, I never showed her for fear of heartbreak, Men fall in love to he said a loud and he crumpled the paper and threw it away and looked out the window searching for her face, Knowing she was long gone by now, he turned and started to pace, he was angry and hurt all the things he tried to avoid, he let her in and didn't even know it, he looks to the door and the words fall from his lips, I love you, but now he knows its just to late.
