Again

What have you done to me, down there?

What have you done to make my legs tremble so, like a dandelion gone to seed?

What have you done to make my body flush, like a teenager in heat?

What have you done to make my brain explode, like a cerebral minefield?

What have you done to me, down there?

What have you done with your fingers, to open my eyes?

What have you done with your lips, to make mine so lush?

What have you done with your tongue, to rip the scream from my throat?

What have you done to me, down there?

And…can you do it, again?
