Under your Total Control Janet Kuypers (01/22/12) it takes a lot of convincing to get me to come to you         I’ve got work to do         I don’t want to stop my routine and all this time, you sit there and wait for me patiently when I finally break down when I finally come to you I dedicate myself to you and I start to undress you make me so wet as I drop my head and give in you beat your heat into all of my pores as I let you have your way with all of my skin, leaving me raw and you know, every time we come together like this I end up feeling so good and I never want it to end you see, I’m usually afraid to let go like that I’m usually afraid to give in to you, to let myself be under your total control but whenever we're together oh, you remind me of how good it feels, how it is so worth my while to break up my routine by coming to you like this   (this is a poem about a shower)
