Stung Stunned
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
I'm left to feel,
Stung stunned.
Stung stunned.
I'm left to be stung stunned.
And unaware it would come.
No idea I had,
You felt for me the way you did.
When first we met.
To say immediately,
From head to toe.
You knew I was catch.
And for you a perfect match.
You had to have.
That would last.
I was so stunned.
I could not even move my tongue.
My heart start beating.
But thought you teased,
Just to play a game to have fun.
Like others you said to do that done..
I was wrong..
You said that we two belong...
Together.
Then I stood numbed.
I could not run.
Both our eyes remained in a fix.
Beyond three minutes.
You left me stung and stunned.
To be done.
I could not run.
You made me numb.
Inside and out.
Licking my lips around my opened mouth.
You left me stunned and stung.
Doing this done.
My tongue could not make any words,
Made to make sense!
My tongue could not make any words,
To undo or convince me to run.
You took away my breath.
And left me stunned.
Stung.
Doing it done.
To leave me numb.
From head to toe.
I could not move.
Since it was you,
I wanted too.
For us to be together!
