Choker

You trail your finger over my skin

You grazed my neck a moment too long 

We're both thinking of the times I pulled at the collar of my shirt,

fidgeted with the back of my necklace,

and grasped my neck in an attempt to pry off invisible fingers

With the dark look in my eye you know we've just crossed a boundary

There's a silent understanding that you're the only one that will be allowed

to touch me

Ever again
