There's fire in my veins;
A searing touch
A heated look
A molten desire
He asked me what I wanted
And with a heady breath I said
"I want to be consumed,
I want to be desired
I want what is carnal
And I want what is irresistible
I want the untameable;
The raw, unfettered truth
I want the unattainable;
The simple, uncontrollable need"
Warm breath on cold skin
Long nights of sin
He asked me again
What it was I wanted
And I told him
I want want
and desire unencumbered
I want to be consumed
Every breath, every touch, every thought
The same way flames lick at their surroundings
The way water fills every empty space
The way air swathes into endless vacuums
When earth is pressured and heated
It creates diamonds
I want to be consumed
