Monsters Like Me

I became your love for me...
until it murdered the piece of my heart
you've stolen, along with your
tongue
fresh out of words, and
fresh out of my hungry mouth.
Succumbing to the fire
erupting between our chests,
we were warm, with love and being,
finding another soul to
be
with...
Be with me
one last time,
forget that you want to forget me
and the flame I brought to your soul of
brick and ice,
mortar and fucking dripping walls
melting away with
e v e r y touch.
My fingertips across your cheek,
your hand on the small of my back, as I
try not to cave and buckle,
the weight of
my heart
pounding to be free,
to lunge at your lips,
pull you close to my hips,
give in to this burning I feel for
your smile, your touch,
your hungry eyes.
How I fucking miss the way you looked at me,
loved me so fiercely the boldness
of your gaze terrified even
you,
made you slither back into your hole,
safe from monsters like me
agonizing to devour you, to
pull you in and force you to
let go, and
be
with
me.
