You tease biting your nail and
looking for my beast to eat your
beauty. I hunger nights to eat
you and know your fierce thirst.

Wind rustled leaves
Are the only sound
In the canopied dark
Concealing memories
Of dizzying nights
Spent wild in the woods

The
indulgence
in
drinking
the
sky’s
tears
from
flower
petals
in
­bitter
,
Greedily
.
Reservation
made
.

You'd been dying for a year.
It seemed forever until the
night your last breath rattled
at 3am and said it's over now.
I wept begging a god for just
another breath or 2 so I could
whisper once more Kellee, you
live on in this old woman's heart.

I watch the ****** on 5th St. dressed to ****
  circle over the wounded with starving appetites
  for all the sweets on display and perfume to up
  temptation for another 5 or 10 for Waffle House.
  Love is easy with fixed price and no strings.
  All I want is someone to hold onto. I still wait.

I want to be loved
really truly
for me

If you love me for something else
what does that mean?

Do you love the illusion
you are thinking of?
That is not who I am.

Who do you love?
