Song Lyric Prompts

From: Creative Prompts for Writing Found: Here and Here

These will not be based on the songs, but whatever the lyric pops into my head at the time of writing it. I could be completely off base from what the song actually represents, but that's not the point of it.

Softly, We Tremble Tonight - A Poem

Sometimes, I wonder where we would be if we hadn't played a fools game. Our bodies intertwined, rhythmically playing to the beat of a song neither of us pay attention to. Smooth and gentle but still somehow passionate and fierce. Quivering as we both reach for fulfillment, and in the end, we leave into the night.
