Keep sipping your ginger tea
Stare me down
From the soft blue cushion
On your corner of the bed
Feast
On my soft naked skin
With your eyes
That appear a little darker these days
A little hungrier
Greedier
Insatiable
Much like my thirst when I see you
With my back pressed into the cold brick wall
I speak softly
Telling you that I won't open
These parts for you anymore
Until my doors crack
Creek
Just slightly open
And you march in
Reach in
Deeper
Deeper
I dread your destructive ways
I crave them too
All while hoping
Maybe
When you're finished demolishing my walls
You'll build a little home
Just big enough
Sweet enough
For the 2 of us
So again
And again
I allow myself to crumble
At your boots.
But last night
I wasn't just unsteady
You took my whole foundation away
Ripped it
Straight from under my feet
Before walking out
While I still had no legs
And I lay a mess on the floor
But don't worry,
It's okay
They grew back
And I built another home
While I slept
And dreamt of you
Staying
