and i know
when winter takes over my soul,
your name will be the last word
my heart skips a beat for.

in you i saw forever,
in me you seen an escape.

you make me ungodly
i crave you above all else
like nosferatu
confined to an eternal bloodlust,
hungry for your love.

in the darkness
your ghost finds me
the memories leave me aching.
the moon was the only witness
to our midnight worship
the stars burned with longing.
teeth bared, nails dragging,
your moans becoming
my personal symphony
each beat of my heart,
yearning for your love.
now my skin is still on fire
from a blanket of kisses
bright enough
to make the night sky herself
weep with envy.

just like sunflowers
contort themselves
to face the sun
perhaps i am capable of the same,
stretching myself
to feel your presence
your soul sustaining me
like the flowers feed the bees.

show me
your favourite books
and read me the poetry
that moves you
after dark
make me playlists
and tell me the secrets
that only the moon knows
let me love
the very corners of your soul
and give you mine in return
i want to know
only all of you
or nothing at all
show me what lies
in the shadows
and let me fight off your fears
i long to tie my heart to yours.

despite it all
we effortlessly end up
drawn together again
your soul pulling me in
my bones still remembering
how your touch felt
on those velvet nights
you light up my existence
and swim beneath my skin
my blood is yours.
