I know
how she is
lying there,
lying to herself
because she told me.

And I know
how she feels,
how she felt
beneath me,
taking all of me
to quench her fever.

And she
can
suppress,
attempt
to hide it
all she wants.

But kindred spirits
with passions
running
as deep as ours
know
hungry animals
can never
be caged.

And I wish
she still wanted me,
the way,
the way
she used to...claw me.
