I am a convict

I am a criminal

For committing a crime 

Against your hair

Which ought to have been

Stroked and played by my fingers

Until you lost yourself in pleasure !

I am a criminal

For committing a crime 

Against your eyelids

Which ought to have been

gently kissed upon with love

each time we met !

I am a criminal

For committing a crime 

Against your beautiful cheeks

Which ought caresse those soft petals

gently by my lips !

I am a criminal

For committing a crime 

Against your body

Which ought to have been 

clinched from behind

With my breath lingering on your neck !

I am a criminal

For committing a crime 

Against the promises 

Which ought to have been kept

But I deliberately breached !

I am a criminal

For committing a crime 

Against the time

Which ought to have been 

spent upon you

But I wasted on others !

And above all

I am a criminal 

For committing crime

Against your beautiful heart

Which ought to have been

loved profoundly, passionately 

deeply and truly !

  But I could never do any of this

- For I am a convict !
