Loving

I'm unsettled by your love
Your words of affirmation
That confidence you carry in us
Makes me fall wary for some deception

You could blame it on my past
But we all have our trauma
And I love you and you know
But I'm unsettled by how fast you make me come

Your kiss so violent
All I've ever prayed for
But I can't fall victim
Of such passionate crimes

Because you could break me
Missing the person I was before
As if this were the calm before the storm
I'm unsettled by your control

In your finger I caress a dagger
You put your hand near my heart
Anytime now you'll press on it
Anytime now I'll stop being strong

In every question there's a silence
Every conversation a smiling sweat
Makes me feel sometimes like I could forget
How deep inside, I'm unsettled by your defiance

Is it wrong to say it?
How much I love the thrill?
Not knowing if this is real
But knowing there's no better fit

Do you enjoy being the serpent to my dove?
Hunt me, I am prey
Feast on me, live another day
I'm unsettled by your love

By me (Eliana)
