i wish you gave me
just a little more time
to be in love with you.

each beat of my heart
is for you alone
i see nothing else,
but the shape of your hands
and heaven in your eyes.

eden is hands
covered in ink stains
from my soul escaping
onto the pages
of tattered notebooks,
listening to the rain
fall softly on the window
like a lover's kiss
upon my shoulder
while the amber haze
of candlelight
burns slowly,
gently dancing
in golden celebration
across the darkness
just like the flames
that swallow me at your touch.

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.
