I need to be wanted, yet
I want to be needed
desperately...
I want to sink my teeth
not just into your body,
but effervescent soul.
With a net of thousand tricks
from up my sleeve
I want to catch it
and digest it -
to have you fully mine, dissolved within...
A dreadful moment
of grabbing frenzy
and selfish thirst,
in its devouring destructiveness
of the priceless gift,
you offer freely and care-free.
I pray to some unknown presence:
"Please
let me be good for him.
Give me strength
to let him go daily, every minute.
...Perhaps to choose to grace me, too..."
