19/M/Pittsburgh, PA, USA i don't have any idea what to do anymore
It takes twelve minutes for me to arrive So if I come over, is that alright? I know it's late And I’m in such a state But, baby, I need you tonight

She was intoxicating Like wine Rich and dark And ruby, ruby red She moved Like she was bathed In love How could I resist?

Wine
I speak your name into the night my hands crawl across your sheets and your body isn't there I wait the chill in the air puckers my skin you've got a steaming cup in your hand, as you come softly padding in the nights blue light and your warm honeyed eyes "Come back to bed," I say "My feet are cold." "I'll be your heater. Am I hot enough for you to hold?" you climb in and thump my head We waited there Till the rays of light Shined on our forms Tea forgotten Sleeping like two children In a storm Clutched to one another tight

Nice People
She's my water woman Got an ocean in her eyes And a well in her chest She drags me down deep, all violent I let her, for it's me who is blessed inside of me, she cannot see my swimming heart leap She doesn't understand How can she when even just her hand takes me to the safe place I crave? An island. I’m surrounded by her. We make love and she's a tidal wave At night we navigate by touch I've learned all her constellations The stars she's made of She's the fountain of life Then she speaks And I know why Sailors were drowned In deep blue seas Her eyes find mine She breathes like it's me Who's the magic one After, we lie warm and still She says I'm hers like I should have known it all along I swallow my reply down like a pill And she doesn't know yet, The magic water woman, That I had never loved before I met her I had never loved anyone at all

My Water Woman
If all the best characters are a little broken... does that make me the favourite?

her heart beats a tattoo against my belly her head rests against my chest giving love to a monster is taboo and when she does it, she thrills me again and again and again

Taboo
I feel better in the dark. I say things, then, that I wasn’t sure of before I said it In the light, I tell them lies But when I slip away into her room at night, I only speak the truth We met by accident She didn’t make me wish for          innocence She whispered to me that things were better in between   And she let me      She begged me Fire beckons me, but I’m in love with another           warmth. She’s too slick, but I love the sound of        her laughter,                 her abandon. She’s ready to hurt, but I love her         protection,                  her affection. She offers me the light,          and I love her darkness, too. I want all of her, if she’ll let me see I’ll stay, anyway Until she gets sick of me
