I love you
the kind that builds a hunger.
A way that makes me subdue,
the kind that makes me call upon a slumber.
I’m not in love,
but you awaken something in me
Without you, I’m destitute of
the feeling of being sultry.
A darkness that comes to light
comes out when you step closer.
Feeling like I need to requite,
but you make my insides take over.
With you, I’m unafraid,
discovering a new side.
Others I always forbade,
with you, my body just replied.
My body burns like a wildfire.
taking over ever engulfing.
Needing you feels dire
because it’s so indulging.
I know this is nothing but bad news,
and I know it’ll end in disaster.
And yet, my body and mind can’t refuse.
but you make my heart feel vaster.
For you, I’d become reckless
innocence and pride left in ruin.
I can’t help that you leave me breathless,
you’ve made me feel like I need persecution.
I crave the chemistry
the way it coils through me.
You make me act contemptuously,
making my insides scream like a banshee.
The only secret my body understands,
the stare into my eyes, arm around my waist.
Can’t help but listen to your commands,
forever you’ll be encased.
Say my name a certain way,
and suddenly I come undone.
My mind goes into disarray,
what have you begun?
Because loving you like this,
in sparks, shadows, and where propriety breaks,
I can’t help but often reminisce.
It’s the only way my mind and body escapes.
I’m willing to fall a little lower
and lose myself for the feeling I love.
Losing my mind and all my composure,
we fit together like a perfect glove.
Loving it and you like a bad addiction,
because with you, I’ve lost all sanity.
I can’t help but need this prescription,
because you keep pulling me in like gravity.
I don’t know if what I feel is real,
but I know you’re my necessity.
I guess time will slowly reveal,
but you give me a sense of familiarity.
I see it in the way you breathe;
you feel this, too.
Your decision is making you seethe;
body answers me before your words ever do.
You’re dangerous because it’s more than physical,
words wrapping around me like warm hands.
There’s a pull into the metaphysical;
you’re the only one who understands.
Your words and voice lure me in like a spell,
and I’m not sure what to feel or believe.
Powerless beneath the pull you compel,
this is something we conceived.
There’s a pull in you that mirrors the one in me,
and your silence betrays you.
Your soul still reaches for me,
inked into you like a tattoo.
The ache in you is building tension,
claim it like you claimed me.
Let me be your redemption,
because together we are a dangerous army.
The world can watch in envy;
we have something they’ll never possess.
Only we can experience this intensity,
a thrill that leaves others breathless.
