With an ounce of tears and a pinch of regret
I sat on the steps and I bowed my head
And all of the things I hadn't said yet
Ran through my mind til my cheeks were wet

Sorrows and butterflies flew through my heart
Pushing at the seams til I fell apart
I have yet to end but I have no place to start
This is life's foolish movie, and I have no part

A few graceful steps, my eyes only stared
What I could've said, if I only dared
My gift was my curse, silence 'cause I cared
My heart left in pieces, feelings undeclared

With a new vow of silence and years of remorse
I rise from the steps as you open the doors
And I never once look, though it requires much force
Knowing there’s pain in your eyes, and I am the source

I hear my name called and choose not to reply
It hurts to ignore, but hurts more to know why
If this is my truth, then I’d rather lie
As cheers ring around me, I leave you behind

I’d ask for forgiveness, you would just shake your head
Without life, I must now live like the dead
With the one of your choosing you are eternally wed
Some other now stands, where I once stood instead

Though the days are well and good
the night is when my thoughts do haunt me
a ghost of memory refusing to die
the tears are gone, but the nights are long
lonely i begin again down the sordid path
where I can taste her lips, smell her scent
hear her laugh, and see that light within her eyes
those windows to her soul
where I saw my love for who she was
a secret known only to us
but when night fades to dawn
my memories too will out run the light
I'll forget how her nose did dance
my bunny, my love
let's flee the light, forever night
so I may gaze into her eyes again
our secret safe forever more
Alas! the Sun is up
her shades now drawn,
our love is gone
now, our time is in the night
where I will dream of things set right

I gaze into the portals of your soul
And get lost in the depths of my imagination.
Navigating images of elevated limbs and
    Blended flesh entwined into one.

I breathe the aroma of your essence
And float high on the ecstasy of your presence.
Bringing chills that travel to secret places
    Triggering spontaneous pleasure sighs.

I want to pull you near and taste the sweetness
of every inch of your body.  
Embarking on a journey to devour you slowly.
Steadily taking you to your limit as I simultaneously
show you through the warm rhythmic flows of my body
Just how much
   I
          LOVE
                         YOU.

There's but one indulgence
     One delicacy.
That will ease my hunger
     Please my appetite.

It is a sweetness
     No baker can provide.
A delicious treat
     A most Savory delight.

The aroma visits me daily
     Dismantling all self control.
I can taste it by thought
     But that won't soothe my soul.
    
These cravings are possessing me
     My mind and body can't rest.
In order to cease my desire
     I must Feast upon your flesh.
