your eyes, winter windows
your laughter, easy echoes
burn me with your gaze of fire
drown me like a tide of stars

may you eat of my heart
may you drink of my blood
scrape your teeth across my skin
drag your tongue across my scars

tell me who i am to you
let words spill into my mouth
soak into my burning body
sear into my ashen brain

let me taste your bittersweetness
as i let you drink my own
ache for me and i will touch you
let my fingers fall like rain

let me hear of how you starve
as my stomach caves in too
let me hear how much you want me
let me see it in your soul

where were we without the other?
we will whisper every night
let it echo our stomachs
let us hold the reddened coal
