I'm broke and begging on the corner of love and unrequited
Yet I still feel rich in spite of it
My pockets are full someday and maybe
That's enough to feed me till you're ready
Teal Holliday Aug 2014
We're all longing for just a touch, just a glance, just a little love to hold us over till the next deposit

And I'm positive that I don't need your fingers on my body to know you want me

Yet I'm starving
Yes I'm hungry for connection of skin to skin interaction

Not a fraction but the whole enchilada
If I can't have you all, I don't want nada

Just please don't tear my dress

Its Prada

.....

Fine tear my dress, tear me open, leave me begging to be healed through osmosis

A subtle or gradual absorption or mingling

Hours late and my toes are still tingling

I can't quite put my finger on it
or my mouth around it but
You taste of pineapple and victory
I feel full and satisfied after having had my portion
Still I'm a glutton not for punishment but the pleasure of your pain

But first things first before I bury my body in yours
Before I get down on all fours begging for your assistance
Because I lost my breath somewhere between the car, the counter and the floor

I don't need to know if you love me
I don't need to know if you're faithful,
I do need to know if you've got a ******
And I don't need to know if you're not fond of em
I don't need to know if you're invested

BUT

I do need to know if you've been tested?

I take a drag from my cigarette
I feel the nicotine hit my head sending a string down my spine
Ich möchte nicht, dich zu verlassen
We sat there for hours
In the middle of ocean
Floating on dreams of grandeur, and that was enough I suppose
Ich möchte nicht, dich zu verlassen
Five years from now we'll meet
I'll smile
We'll know

Hands full of assuasive power
Gently commanding attention

Pacifying my trembling heart
I’ve never been afraid
What a time to start

Staring at the smoldering coals behind your eyes
Tripping over my words like I’m walking on fire

I’ve always said love was for the birds
Now here I am pecking away at the dirt
Hoping to unearth you
I’m sure I’ll find a worm or two


Behind the mischief in your smile is a delicate ego
Fragile as crystal yet callous
In your arms I find a safe place, a palace
For my adoration to settle like dust
A dry tongue is not enough to derail my train of thought

I’ve always said that loves for the birds
Now here I am pecking away at the dirt

Hoping
To
Unearth
You

My insecurity swallows me whole
Only leaving the seeds
To be planted so I may grow

"Take me with you!" I said to the wind
help me to dance effortlessly as you do
teach me to whistle and teach me to spin
how do you make the leaves waltz for you
i want to know how to whisper and scream
to sing a lullaby that puts one at ease
i know its not as easy as i seems
to disturb the leaves by rustling the trees
show me how to laugh with the rain and jump with the snow
take me with you I just want to go
