I. need. you.
To help me...
Let/this/go{ifthatswhatyouwant}
Because the taste of your words
...And\your\mouth
Are- merciless- spectors
In a mind swimming with wants...
It takes only.one.word.
Your choice
Stay....
Or go,...
2 letters or 4
...and no//thing more,...

I'm a hopeless romantic...it's true
But now you've helped me see the...
truth
...that it's- no- excuse- for
...dragging. you. down. with... me;
Even though; here I am tread/ing/water
Because I know what I've found
&.I.can't.keep.you.
~ you are so right ~
Cha/s/i/n/g you
when-you-have-someone
Makes me someone I/can't/like,...
regardless of how you have nestedinmy
...skin...//that reason can no longer
Fly.
You've got some pieces stored away; that fit so divinely with mine;
< my thumbs on your hips/your hands in my hair/mouths losing time >
...while you've given some away...
&,..I can't have you feeling responsible for
the longing in my head AnD c.h.e.s.t.
...you have enough gravel to/crawl/through
as-it-is.
So, so, and so... I have to care for you...
{ive beensoselfishallthistime}enough...
To let it go...
And I do...
...and isn't that just-the-way
It...
...goes.

Swimming mind
~Tangled~heart
I kissed your < lips >
a delicious
Start

The sweetest taste
Found onyourskin
Sip the wet
...Diving... in

Your hand presses
My/mouth/deeper
Our breathing in time
Your gasps
... in-fre-quent

And all .the .wants .
That led me here
Are all that matter
That'sall _that'sclear

Now t h a t I've had you
On.my.tongue.
My lips sing to my heart a song...
*this,....this. kiss. is. my

funny, how
i woke
to a dream
of kissing you
it was so {******} sweet
and so...usually, the very...thought
that keeps.me.awake.

and it's just so like me
to want <What should be>such a little thing
so many think so lightly of
the-lips-they've-grown-to-know

but here i am... longing...
for that mouth <so out of reach>
and how I'd so cherish the feel
of/your/lips/
on...me.
