Won't You Lay With Me Tonight?

by Bradley Peter   Feb 4, 2008


You're just a girl, I'm just a boy
Let me have the pleasure of a little joy
Stay at least, for a little while
Give me a chance to feel your smile
Let us talk, until we feel the day
If only talking, just to get away
You sleeping, is a dreaming sight
Won't you lay with me tonight?

You're just a boy, I'm just a girl
You're words are making me unfurl
You know I'm in love, with another
Though my love for you is like no other
The pleasure would all be mine
But that was not our God's design
It's hurting me to have to fight
But I can't lay with you tonight

Feeling high, and just a little low
Don't have to ask, I'm sure you know
You don't love him like you love me
You said it yourself, please let us be
But if you want, then I won't touch
If touching you will hurt that much
But still tonight, I still invite
Won't you lay with me tonight?

The burning question that you ask
Is still indeed a dangerous task
Please I ask, don't ask again
I'm weakening in your domain
If I stay, we know what's in store
A bond I've never broken before
We both know this isn't right
So I can't lay with you tonight

I don't care what's right or wrong
We both know where you belong
Forget our worlds, outside these walls
Let us answer, as love it calls
I just need to touch your skin
Release this passion from within
So once again I'll ask polite
Won't you lay with me tonight?

To lay with you is a great desire
The chance to flame this burning fire
But lay tonight with you I won't
For I must do, as you don't
I feel your breath on my neck
You're turning me into a wreck
Though it is with you I delight...
Yes, I'll lay with you tonight

    Wow. Very poetic. I loved the way it went from the girl refusing to lay with him to the sudden surrender in the last stanza. The repetition of the last line in each stanza adds to the beauty of the poem. Forbidden love doesn't always come out the way it's meant to in poems, but I think, in this case, it did. Nicely done. 5/5

    I LOVE IT!!! WOW OH WOW!!! I like the dialect, flow, and story line in this. I like how you both belong to another, but you desire to be with her. I love the flow and how polite, considerate and gentle you were in this piece. Very well written, just an amazing piece.
