Eat me drink me
lick me taste me
bite me suck me
chew me swallow me whole
all the way down
'cause my well is drying out
lay your wetness into me
turn me inside out
I'm reluctant to chase
so hesitant to change
but I'll burst into flames
before I let it go to waste
Heal me burn me
hold me drop me
whatever you do
don't let go of me
incomplete yet whole
a paradox of puzzle pieces
lifting lids painting holes
flames rise
licking my insides
waterlogged from the tension
intense apprehension
a feeling I can't equate with loneliness
some solitude can lead to distress
right now all I'm thinking
is about wanting to undress
Sometimes
I find it hard to trust myself
my naked radar gun is broken
needs to be calibrated
while I'm still thawing out
things are a little blurry
now that the blinders are off
the blindfold has been lifted
my ears ring and pop
tongue feels like sandpaper
from licking the flames
off of your heart
tears poured into buckets like rain
running like legs
trying to catch the last midnight train
I am not here against my own will
yet I still keep trying to find
the source of pain
