Toxicity In Love

December 30, 2024

Kiss me with your unbridled lips
Scorch me with the heat of your presence 
I lie in wait for your essence

Touch me with your scathing words
Numb me with the chill of your wrath 
I look forward to your hand on my throat

Pound me with the heaviness of your fist
Bruise me with the bite of your teeth 
I long for the chaos you bring forth

Suck freedom away with your mouth
Drink between my thighs the reward of your work
Then lie with me and whisper sexy nonsense to me

I will consider your morals the tradition papa instilled in me many years ago

Look for me in the lines of your palm
Listen for my voice in the echo of the room
Search for my reflection in the mirror on the wall
My love is all around you

Although you just washed my blood from the floor 
My heart is still beating, waiting for you at the door
I yearn for you that’s why you see me in dreams
My body moan for your touch that’s why you see me in shadows

Accept this is the new us
As I accepted you were my true one
My love is all around you
And it is a forever thing
After all, you did promise me eternity
