Craving Shadows

Mirror bound, this shadow and I

For once my desire sees eye to eye

Distracting sharp edges and rough play

Searching for that biting darkness I used to crave

On wicked things my heart takes a tumble

Head over heels for salt worn stubble

I just can't shake this ache for fire, for flame

When I taste that razor edge and only get blame

Deep down inside I still feel your grit

Wave after wave, pounding away at it

What I would not give for your finger tips

Drinking full, drinking deep from regretful lips

Plunder. Pillage. Take it all.

If only to leave me panting and raw
