Oh, Jacob Why

Oh, Jacob, why does thy touch give me shivers,
Make my warmth go to the heart?
Eyes shine not for only me—
You hide lovers in the dark,
Corners of rooms with no door,
Windows with moans.

I not only know,
I've seen you never alone.

Why do thy eyes give me warmth as you touch her body,
Your tongue attached to hers?
She gets into position and proceeds to call your name.
Oh, how I wish we were the same.

Oh, Jacob, why do your fingers go so far?
Oh, damn—leaker again.
Maybe I need a repair.

Her eyes go to the back of her head,
Asking for more.
And then, finally, I opened the door.

Oh, Jacob, why dost thou look so confused?
I assume the fire had a fuse, yet no one's amused.

Oh, Jacob, why did I join, wanting what she has—
And much, much more?
