I know it's selfish
To laugh at your pain
And still wish
I could take you home
At the end of the night

I was starving when I met you
Ready to devour every last morsel
of admiration and affection
Tossed in my direction
No crum too little

But I've had my fill
I've gorged on lust
Grown boated on tasteless compliments
Become lethargic with pleasantries

I've relished dining off your silver platter
Served only for me
With satiety attained I'll leave this place
Until the hunger strikes again

I bet you think you're so cool
With your punk band
And little tattoos

You think you're getting with me
You have no idea
What's in store for you

You feel like a life time ago

Your wife must be lonely
With all the time you spend
Away from her
Wishing you had me

Do you read my words here
That I wrote for you
And only you?


And in those moments
Do you think of me
And only me?

Searching for a love
that will guide my hands
and calm my spirit

Love so pure
it ignites my soul
and challenges preconceived notions

Pure and intoxicating
distilled to be set alight
and never burn out
