Poets progress
IN THE QUIET OF YOUR OWN
Are You Silent or Were You Silenced?

Touch me like you know I’ll leave when I’m done,Like you know I’m not staying, but we’ll still have our fun.I move to my own rhythm, and you follow my pace,We don’t need any words—just the heat of the race.
I don’t belong to you, never did, never will,But I’ll give you tonight, let you know how I feel.Feel the sweat on your skin,You can have this moment, I want you to win.
I like the way you watch me, with hunger in your eyes,But don’t make it easy & then reward me with a prize.I’ll take what I want, and I’ll give what I choose,When the sun comes up, you’ll know what you’ll lose.
This is lust on my terms, fire in my control,I’m the one who decides when to give and when to hold.I taste like freedom, fierce and untamed,You’ll remember this night, but you won’t remember my game.
And when it’s over, I’ll slip through the door,No strings, no attachments—I’ve done this before.I am whole on my own, don’t need you to stay,But I’ll leave you wanting, as I walk away.I’m wild, I’m free, and I burn on my own,I was never just yours—never meant to be known.
So take what you can, but don’t look too deep,I’m gone by the morning, leaving only your sheets.
Touch me slow, like you know I’m a ghostFading with the dawn, like I haunt you the most.The cigarette’s burning, lips painted red,I’m a pretty little dream that dances in your head.
You want me to stay, but darling, I roam,A wanderer’s heart, never calling you home.I float through the night like smoke in the breeze,You’ll feel me in whispers, but I’m not what you need.
Your hands trace my skin like you’re writing a song,But I don’t stay too long, I never belong.I’m the wild one, baby, with glitter in my hair,A sweet illusion you’ll find when I’m not there.
You sip on my words like a bitter-sweet wine,But I’m poison in lace, and you’ll never be mine.We play in the dark, where no one can see,But don’t get too close—you’ll lose yourself in me.
I’ll love you in whispers, in secrets untold,But I won’t be kept, I won’t fit the mold.You can have this moment, this velvet kiss,But I’m the kind of love you’ll always miss.
So light up the night, with your eyes full of sin,But when the morning comes, I’ll be gone with the wind.I’m the moonlit girl with the heartbreak smile,A beautiful disaster that lingers a while.
You’ll remember the touch, the taste of my name,But, darling, you’ll never know me the same.I’m freedom in heels, with nowhere to be,Just a faded dream you’ll never quite see.
