To be the drop that leaves your lips
To trace your curves
To split your seams,
To be the flesh that fills your dreams.
To dive into your deepest part
And break the glass around your heart,
To swim your secrets one by one
To catch you as you come undone.
To feel my hands as they dig in
Beneath the fabric of your skin,
To fight daybreak's impending gloom
To cast love-shadows in your room.
To consume your will
To steal your breath
To lead you to your little death,
To put your fears upon the shelf
To close your eyes
Love it before I was even done reading it!!
