I feel unsafe
In a building with closed doors, you are always there
There's no need to run, hide
There's no place to go
You always find a way to seep through my skin, infect my thoughts

Too long have you chiseled at my soul
Brainwashed my mind
Siphoned my happiness out through my pores

Now that you're gone, things are better
But I feel as if you took something
Ah yes, you took the memories
Stripped them of me, destroyed them with your toxic waste
I can't retrieve them
Ever

As I love you, it feels just like breathing
Like riding a bike
Like flying a kite

It's quite impossible to forget how to love you

Simplistic, the act of sharing love between us

Like jigsaw pieces, we found each other in a sea of different
Shapes,
Colors,
and Sizes

We fit perfectly, because we were designed to coexist

In the same space
At the same time

Kiss me slow
Kiss me soft
Kiss me long

Make it last
Make it count
Make it strong

I want to feel you
I want to know the reality of kissing you
Engrave it in my soul
Save me from the pain of forgetting your lips

Kiss my cheek
Stomach
Hand
Shoulder
Neck
Kiss me

Kiss me in the moonlight
Kiss me goodnight
Kiss me on my tiptoes
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me good morning
Kiss me by the sunset
Kiss my clothes off
Kiss me naked
Kiss me

I need your kisses
Always

I want your kisses
Always

I love your kisses
Always

Kiss me carefully, kiss me carelessly

Kiss your love into me

Love is the kind of thing you read about
Love is the kind of thing you dream about

But to experience...

Help me find words to rationalize the feeling of love


When every kiss holds meaning behind sealed lips
When every hug warms the body like hot chocolate on a snow day
When every smile gathers heat to your cheeks
When every laugh tattoos memories
When every tear beckons death

Electrifying the sensation of touch, from an innocent hand-hold to a loving palm that rests on my cheek, supporting the weight of my head as I fall asleep on your chest to the soothing sound of respiration

That emotion which takes one word to describe, yet can be described in thousands of words

All of which, I feel from you

It was innocent.
The two of us, naked together, breathing each others oxygen
Close enough to smell the ****** aroma of your sweat and natural scent
Close enough to touch lips so tenderly, close enough to interlace our tongues inside my mouth

It was special.
Young love, together we shared this feeling so few comprehend
We proudly say we know what love is, we proudly say we shared true love

It was quiet.
Skin touching skin, rubbing gently like fine grit sand paper
Soft, rushed breathing passing by my ear

It was perfect.
In every sense of the word, it was perfect.

It was beautiful.

Venomous
As you poison me
Intoxication at best
Sickiningly sweet
Surprisingly sour
To differentiate between the two is impossible, drugged by your painfully soft

Lips that inject me with these
Salivating neurotoxins
Numbing mind, body, and soul
Penetrating deep layers of

Skin so comfortable as my form molds against yours
Feathery whispers surrounding my ear while

Kissing slowly, silently
In a sublime fashion as darkness forms to daylight, and daylight turns to midnight

Time means nothing here
Very proud of this one because you can read it two different ways: As one poem, or each section (including the first word of the next section) can basically be read as a poem by itself
