Analysis of Kisses

Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)



As his kisses caress my body
I think back to the time he left
As his kisses go gently on my face
I think of the time we first met
With his kisses lingering on my lips
I think of the time we felt this real
As his kisses leave mine
I think of the time I tried to die
