Pulse echoing in the hollow canal of my ear, A sweet, persuasive sound that initiates the craving, I want to taste you in the sickest of ways, Like itchy centipede legs discovering the back of your throat, A discomfort only a thousand sips could quell, I’d like to think I could resist, I know better; I’m only realtime flesh, Slowly rub your cheek against my chin, I’ll dip my nose into your neck and use my tongue to caress each striation, Until I can taste the carotid reaching toward the holy switchboard, My jaws will not be denied, closing vehemently, Penetrating the silky dermis, ragged vents meant to pourpourpour Vital lifeblood and sustenance out into useful globs of passive alertness, You are a beautiful, tormented creature in which I can bear to look at no longer. I cannot see you as you are meant to be, I am deluded and biased.. Sent to realize truth, only to find no definitive, I will relish bringing about your end as much as my own.
