devoured

I think of you endlessly,in the hollow when silence sprawls, when shadows stretch like memories..., that taste of you, sweet and bitter. As the ache i cant outrun.

You consume me whole- a fire swallowing its own smoke, a wave drowning the shore, and i wonder if you feel it too, this unbearable pull that lives in my marrow, thrums in my skin..

I imagine the things we could do, our bodies like whispers that build to screams, your breaths brending my neck as my fingers map the topography of your want. 

But do you think of me in the restless dark? Do i haunt you as you haunt me?I love you until its ruinous-- until i am nothing but your name, spoken beneath my breath, an incantation, a prayer, a curse.

You are my obsession, the knife ipress in my chest-- and beg you to push it deeper, because even pain feels like love, if it comes from you.

I am yours, devoured, 

and still, I hunger.
