Providence

by Hot Lizard Boy

Was Providence what led you here
Or some sick turn of luck
Your bedroom eyes caught mine
then lowered modestly
While you whispered a hesitant invitation
I wanted you that moment, baby
Like I've wanted you forever
I lunged across unfriendly space
Until you gasped in recognition
I'd been your phantom lover
The one who embraced you in your dreams
Flesh on flesh and no regrets
Welcoming need and greed and wantonness
A secret you kept from yourself
Undiscovered until my persistence
Led you home
