Written by S.Thompson

 

In the confines of steel, where shadows loom,

Liam, our laughter broke through the gloom.

Those naked play fights, a reckless delight,

Dancing on edges, blurring the light.

We wrestled for fun, a game we both played,

In the heat of the moment, our barriers swayed.

Your skin against mine, a thrill in the air,

A touch that felt right, yet we both knew the snare.

It teetered on something, a line drawn with care,

Yet you’re not gay, and I’m caught in this snare.

We laughed through the tension, but underneath lay

A longing unspoken, a game we can’t play.

Now outside the walls, where silence holds tight,

I think of those moments that felt so right.

The closeness we shared, a bond wrapped in jest,

But now that we’re free, it’s hard to digest.

Though we can’t see each other, those memories stay,

The thrill of our fights, the warmth of the day.

I fancy you still, though you’ll never see,

That those fleeting encounters meant everything to me.
