I die and come alive
inside and otherwise
to feel your fingertips memorize my thigh
my skin aflame
as your touch flickers over it,
slowly,
softly,
like the slight light of a candle
that's not getting enough air
I'm not getting enough air
I gasp for breath, grasp for sanity
I suck your name into my mouth
and moan it out again
I need you
I need you to take me
to have more of me the way you're
tasting me now
if I could breathe
I'd beg you to lick your fingers
realize I'm good for you
and savour the rest of me
bite me,
sink your teeth into my neck,
the soft flesh at my sides
suck at me softly,
as at the juice of an apple
suck at me hard as though you need
the last few drops of chocolate milk
wipe me from your lips with a smile
and please have loved it
and want more,
because god knows I do
and I couldn't go on breathing if you didn't.
