Collateral

You take me from behind

And I get lost in myself

Because I can’t see you

But I can feel you

As you become part of me

My fingers reach down

To touch you 

So I know you are real

And not just some ghost 

From a dream 

You encapsulate me

With your arms

And your body

As you increase in intensity

I am reduced to a single point

Focused on the countdown

Of each stroke

Until you are everything I am

And when I finally explode

I take you down with me
