You kissed my head
as your arms closed tight around my body
embraced-
encapsulated, protected and smitten by your gentle touch
your love is a mystery that keeps me guessing.
I want more.
My love is selfish and unrelenting
as my addiction grows stronger.
But you do not pull away
and this keeps my heart beating steadily.
Your shadows can't hide from me
I see them in your eyes
even when you don't see me looking.
They keep you sad
but you forget that I know your hell.
How it's greedy, unjust consumption of our happiness
is the latest trend.
You softly trace your fingers on my skin and I am feeling you.

You kissed my head
as your arms closed tight around my body
embraced-
encapsulated, protected and smitten by your gentle touch
your love is a mystery that keeps me guessing.
I want more.
My love is selfish and unrelenting
as my addiction grows stronger.
But you do not pull away
and this keeps my heart beating steadily.
Your shadows can't hide from me
I see them in your eyes
even when you don't see me looking.
They keep you sad
but you forget that I know your hell.
How it's greedy, unjust consumption of our happiness
is the latest trend.
You softly trace your fingers on my skin and I am feeling you.
