White cotton ripped, you've duly stripped
Me of my words as well as my clothes
I hold my breath, your arms grasp my back
With a force that I know
Means you won't let me go
Without resounding impact
I want you every second of every day
And every thing else is just a blur and a waste
Because all I can ever do
Is think of you
It's driving me mad, as if it hasn't already
Your eyes burning red, my hands won't steady
Our selfish records are reset
Don't say yes if you'll regret
I won't answer when you ask how I am
You hurt me unconsciously, constantly
But I won't waste my lips
On words that will taint this
I won't break if you let me bend
Your mouth traces my veins
From my temples to my toes
My hair to my heels
My scalp to my soles
I can't explain how it feels
But you always leave me full
You bruise my flesh with every touch
I'm a crude mess, needing you too much
Your teeth break skin, taste my blood
I let you in, and your pulse runs
Shakespeare did get one thing right -
So much sweet sorrow in goodbye
And I pull you against me too tight
But I know you'll be in my dreams tonight
Brightly Wound.
