Pain radiates through my body,
like blood scrapes through vessels;
Air spills out of my bare lungs,
like soft water rushing down a river;
It’s love shatters my heart,
like glass broken by a wielded, naked metal;
It grits at my body,
Like gasoline bruised by a burning flame.
Lick at the soft temple buried in my bare heart,
Blaze with astonishing fire;
Soften at the scrape of a single whisper,
Morph into dust;
Quiver at my single touch, breath, look, voice, emotion;
Be mine to hold stripped of shame, hesitancy, lust;
Be mine to hold as yourself.
I burn with desire,
To feel flesh among skin;
I urge for the need to evaporate,
To be inhaled by him;
The pain that throbs in my heart,
Like a vessel split loose by a burning need;
To feel flesh among skin,
To be inhaled by him.

Pain radiates through my body,
like blood scrapes through vessels;
Air spills out of my bare lungs,
like soft water rushing down a river;
It’s love shatters my heart,
like glass broken by a wielded, naked metal;
It grits at my body,
Like gasoline bruised by a burning flame.
Lick at the soft temple buried in my bare heart,
Blaze with astonishing fire;
Soften at the scrape of a single whisper,
Morph into dust;
Quiver at my single touch, breath, look, voice, emotion;
Be mine to hold stripped of shame, hesitancy, lust;
Be mine to hold as yourself.
I burn with desire,
To feel flesh among skin;
I urge for the need to evaporate,
To be inhaled by him;
The pain that throbs in my heart,
Like a vessel split loose by a burning need;
To feel flesh among skin,
To be inhaled by him.
