As thy hands caress my thighs

The lust I feel can’t be disguised

Although the forbidden fruit is tempting

I can’t be your eve eternally relenting

If time were to truly standstill, I still wouldn’t feel ill

My purity’s worth far more than your insistent will

Like a sturdy weed, my leave pickings aren’t easily plucked

Maybe elsewhere you may try your luck

As sunrise is settling yonder

Don’t foresee my fancy for you to flourish fonder

This opportunity may lie in its grave

But trust me, your yearning shall cease to make me cave
