sigh...

i stare at you...
thinking about you on all fours...
your smile captivates the small part of me that wants to live...
i'm enchanted by you...
bewitched, bothered and bewildered...

i study your body in the mirror, trying to sneak a gaze at your face...
i try to mimic your movements, trying to please you...
do you notice? can you hear me?
i try to stay inconspicuous, am i successful?
i can feel the blood rush to my face when i'm around you...

when you talk to me i melt...
i want to be wrapped by your presence...
i count the days between our meetings and my numb heart skips a beat...

i want to know your dark secrets...
i want to know all about your life...
who are you?
do you drink often?
do you use it to numb the pain?

sigh...

eta:
How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything I've done, I've done for you
I move the stars for no one
(within you, David B.)
