you bit valleys through my stomach last night, gnawed your way through crevices on my neck, nibbled love onto every orifice. and today my body is numb with it all, it is my favorite feeling. when i glide my hand over, and the pain is raw, fresh. new. seeing the wounds, forming, gathering. licking your name over and over on my lips, searching for bits of you within my hair. i ache, with throbs of pain, i ache, for you. and next time i will tell you, “no holding back”
