If I could for a moment,
Trail my fingers down
Your spine
And trail them back up again,
I’d feel the rivets of your stem,
The very bones that hold you
Together.

How nice it would be,
If I could for a moment,
Hold you together;
You’d never slip through
My fingertips.
Only the syllables of
Your name and
The pretty little things
You make me think
Will slip through my lips.

I’ll consume you, dear,
Every little bit you loathe,
Every little bit I love.
I’ll take all of you,
Or part of you,
Whatever may work best for you;
I’ll inhale your scent and
Drink you in.

Such a sweet little taste;
It dances upon my tongue,
Warms me inside out and
Leaves me breathless,
Wanting more.

You intoxicate me,
You make me crazy,
You’ve driven me mad;
You’ve given me the best
Hangover I’ll ever have.

But if I could for a moment,
Hold you together,
I’d be perpetually yours,
Indebted forever.
