We want it,
but don't need it.
Strive for it,
yet never achieve it.
So what is it?
unreachable,
unattainable,

Stain my naked body
With your blood,  clear.
It a not the first time I've absorbed your foreign nature,
I've been doing it for years
Through your body,  
Through your mouth
dripping with the liquid sensation of your lonely soul, grinding away the essence of physical feeling with physical feeling, hot, your hollowed out, it's purposefully misunderstood by you
But not by me.
I see inside your holes, I've always been able to,
And now, finally, your looking into mine.

hiding
kept you in hiding
slowly pining
down my palms
(for you)
for once, i give in
to secret
recoiling my blood
when i realize what i'm doing
but it's so easy
loving
well, maybe it shouldn't be
but it is
a persistent knocking
at my temples
i cannot help but feel the weight
of your knuckles tonight
you told me i couldn't be anything
so i pulled up the burnt ashes
reviving my broken bones
and turned myself into something
you would want.

This is one of the first little snippets I wrote when I started writing poetry instead of just songs and short stories and every time I read this part it reminds me of what I wrote it about so clearly. Just wanted to post this because I've been uninspired lately and I'm working on a current project that will be out this year.
