1)

if i could lick the blood off of your skin, i would growl in hunger and lap up every last drop as it stands like red agates against your supple flesh

2)

i don’t want to hurt you, ever

3)

i want to hear you scream though, blur the line between pleasure and pain until they seamlessly become one intangible pulse throughout your body

4)

i would kiss the tears from your cheek and whisper the softest terms of love into your ear until my full adoration is exposed

5)

you could dissect every word and find fault within yet never have reason to doubt the sincerity of this contradiction you bring raging forth within me

6)

the difference in love and hate is so slight that i will make both burn into a flame so pure and true you can only feel need as it purifies the land around our naked bodies

7)

i love you with every breath i take, a sullen ache that burns my chest as if my lungs refuse any molecule not perfumed with your scent

8)

it drives me beyond insanity to a place of winter chill and icicles form from arms and legs, the tears form jagged slopes down my cheeks and i am consumed with shaking want

9)

yet this is my happiest place, this frozen wonderland of carved ice and pristine crystalline thoughts

10)

my fists are torn from punching the walls and my voice is hoarse from screaming in torment so delicious i have lost all ability to think

11)

the warning label tattooed upon my ribs reads do not operate heavy machinery while under the influence of her

12)

then how do i function under your spell, this immense weight of your gaze holding me down in this pit of desperate pressure compressing my heart to a diamond only fit for your finger

13)

i’m lost

14)

this trail of discarded organs litter the trail behind me as crows feast and fight over every length of intestine, disemboweled by your hunger for more and more until all i have left to give is every last piece of myself

15)

and i’m willing

16)

i’m here, lying on the table with all the surgical implements necessary for you to carve the image of who you want me to be and enough sedatives to sleep until you are done

1)

if i could lick the blood off of your skin, i would growl in hunger and lap up every last drop as it stands like red agates against your supple flesh
