I crave your touch so much it hurts
Like a knife blade in my flesh
Every moment that passes by
Is a twist of the blade inside me
That spills the blood across my skin
A wound I must always feel and never see
Please come sew me up
The needles pierce for but a second
Sealed with a kiss, your hot breath lingering
I lean into your everything
Push against your body, sweet local anesthetic
Pleasure tantalizing
Sharpens the mind and quickens the pulse
And dulls the thought that soon I’m left without you
To reopen the wounds
Each aching stitch pulling the scar tissue
Memories become my only savior
Your undying devotion my only respite

Back
