Wearing Your Patience

What am I wearing tonight? Just your patience, Standing too close with a grin, Seeing how long till you give in. You sit like you own every shadow, I lean like I’m testing the blade, You tell me to keep my distance, I smile and step into range. Your eyes say leave while your hands stay still, You watch every move that I make, You call me reckless under your breath, I call that foreplay in this place. I’m wearing your patience like silk on my skin, Watching you slip every time that I grin. You swear that you’re colder, you swear that you’re calm, But your eyes tell me more than the lines that you draw. I move just enough just to pull you back in, I’m dressed like a dare you can’t turn away from. You warn me once and I tilt my head, Like I’ve never heard that word before, You say I don’t know what I’m playing with, I knock on the edge of the war. Your voice drops low when you speak my name, Mine lifts just to watch you freeze, You swear you don’t like the way I look at you, You hate how close you let me be. I’m wearing your patience like silk on my skin, Watching you slip every time that I grin. You swear that you’re colder, you swear that you’re calm, But your eyes tell me more than the lines that you draw. I move just enough just to pull you back in, I’m dressed like a dare you can’t turn away from. You tell me to run tonight, I stay exactly where I am, You glare like you mean it, I smile and tilt my head. I know every warning you give me is loaded, I step closer just to hear you breathe, You say that I’m poison dressed up in silk, I say you like poison when it’s me. Your hand hovers close but never lands, Mine traces the heat in the air, You hate how long you hesitate here— I love that you’re losing the stare. I’m wearing your patience like silk on my skin, Watching you slip every time that I grin. You swear that you’re colder, you swear that you’re calm, But your eyes tell me more than the lines that you draw. I move just enough just to pull you back in, I’m dressed like a dare you can’t turn away from. Don’t turn away, Just stay right there, You haven’t won— You’re still breathing my air.
