Want
A whiskey tongue, hot down your throat
Honeycomb, I felt it down to my bones
I'll make a woman out of sweat and blood
Love and spit, bliss of one
Only now does it come, do I feel real
The acid stings, burn the rolling steel
Veins sprawled into roots, now deep in the dirt
I dug my heels into starless hurt
I would do anything for you
I would do anything to you
I tried to be gentle
Only touch and trace
But I couldn't resist
Couldn't care for grace
I want to crawl on your bed and make your sheets dirty again
I want to make sure that we could never ever be friends
I want to never be able to look you straight in the eyes
I want more than I could ever swallow, steal or sustain from you alive
a self defeating, forever repeating
well worn, moth eaten
and quite unoriginal
ache
for the impossible feeling of Enough.
“I have been writing a lot about desire in the form of conquering. It's a tired concept but it's what's been coming out. I am against objectification but it's odd how it seems to correlate so well in contemporary romance.” November 25th, 2010
