I want to slip your skin over mine,
To pull your edges together
Like I do my coat on a frozen day.
I want to keep in your warmth,
And drown within you.
And I want for you to envelope me,
To slither along my skin,
To let me meld into you,
Until we cease to know
Where we end and the other begins.

I want to have you within me,
I want to devour you,
To consume you entirely.
I want for you to fill me up.
Otherwise I want for you to rest inside of me
Comforted in my womb,
With only me as your walls,
No way for you to leave
Or escape.
If you resist I will not give up
I will tear your skin in my passion,
And I will claw at you to bring you in.

I want you in this monstrous way,
It has become impossible to contain,
I am constantly tormented by this desire.
These longings are dark and devious,
And they reside in the darkest place of all.
They live within my heart.
This poem is about the darker, obessive side of love, maybe a bit too dark.
