Needed Self Control

Stop
staring at his mouth
when he talks
reign it in
get some control
have some
self respect

Raise your eyes
try to
listen to the words
focus on the
spot between his eyes

Don't look in those eyes
because then you might smile
might let them linger
let your pressure rise
let your heartbeat increase
feel that slight burn
in the pit of your stomach
at the possibility
of what
the two of you can be
if you both let go
just once

No
You have to focus
come on, what did he just say?
now you have no answer
and he is waiting
smiling
politely wondering
what you were standing here thinking
while your head
was nodding and you
tugged at your skirt
your eyes hovering around
those thick lips

come on, girl
get some self control...
