Your words, they pulled me like tide on tethered soul each line a hush, each verse a look I wasn’t ready to return. I fought this. Dodged your warmth like it might burn. But oh, the fear that you’d see right through the quiet, to the hunger I bury under silk and sarcasm. Desires not made for daylight. Your poetry exquisite on page, sinful in my mind. How lucky your muse, to be the wellspring of your art. How luckier still am I, to drink from it. Your hands a haven. My head in your lap, countless times I’ve drifted into the safest sleep. Fingers laced as you drive, windows down, world forgotten. I hate this feeling. I do. But I can’t cut it out of me. I know what this is and what it isn’t. So I beg you, Honey Bee… let me be. Because if I come too close, you’ll sting. And I’ll break. Mercy, on me, and on this stubborn heart I can’t take a love that never starts.

Honey Bee
Deceive my heart, weave a tale untrue, Whisper love, say I'm the one for you. I'll sense the falsehood, still, I'll find reprieve, In my delusions, happiness I'll achieve. I plead with you, spin a tale so sweet, My love unreturned, a wound so deep. Lie to me, let me cling to false dreams, For in your lies, my broken heart redeems.

Fictional Echoes of Love
In shadows cast, I stand, my heart feels sore, Not beautiful, but "cute," at best, they implore. Love's worth, in men's eyes, I can't seem to find, Reduced to an object, desire defined. A foolish dream, I once held in my heart, To be loved, cherished, a meaningful part. Yet, my hope, now crushed, I can't ignore, As I see myself, just a piece to explore. In this darkness, I resign my fate, A piece of meat, to be hunted, innate. Devoured by men's hunger, I now see, In this harsh reality, my soul's decree.

Fleeting Dreams, a Heart Unseen
In loving you, no apologies I make, My heart breaks, its pieces start to ache. Meeting you, a bittersweet delight, Knowing I'll never be her shadow's light. True love knows no bounds, no demands, I accepted you, flaws and all, no reprimands. Yet, as you choose to return to her embrace, My heart's agony, I struggle to erase. I'd **** I'd die, I'd steal for you, it's true, A love so deep, a bond that still holds true. Forever and a day, I'll be yours to keep, Even as my heart shatters, my soul does weep.

Bound in unrequited love
I am afraid of you I am afraid of what you can make me do Your touch can weaken my legs You grab me by the throat my heart skips and leaps You whisper in my ear The warmth of your breath sends chills down my spine Your words make my stomach turn I am so very afraid of you Knowing that every act betrays all that I am And still, I can’t sleep tonight  anticipating you I am afraid of you I don’t know what I feel. I just know I have never felt it before I know I have never been so free under your control

Fear
I crave you I want you I need you You made me love you You made me care for you You made me submit to you You claimed  my body You claimed my mind You claimed my heart And now where are you? I’m yours without a collar I’m yours without you I crave you I want you I need you

Hunger
If I could borrow your eyes Only for a few minutes If I could see this so called beauty This strength This poise you claim I carry If I could only see what you see Maybe I could love me

Your Eyes
Would you truly like to see inside my soul It’s desolate and dark

You make me cry You make me want to scream I hate you I truly do I crave you I want you This is why I hate you You make me feel lovable You make me want to be better This is why I hate you I find myself wanting to open up and share what’s within my soul to you I hate you Your gaze strips me bare This is why I cannot stare I hate you You make me want to kiss you And say I love you

I hate you
In the throws of passion He has complete control of me When his hand glides against my skin My body screams for him When he looks into my eyes My soul comes alive He knows the power he holds I begin to unfold I fall prey to his kiss Every heartbeat and breath I miss
