Shivers and sweat
I need you close to me
Skin searing the stone walls of my heart
Thawing the cracks open
Layers to break through
You tore through them all
The heat of my passion
Kissed and softened your edges
Melting into one another
Boundaries faded
I’m not sure what hurt more
Loving you
Or loving myself so little
You were everything and nothing
Light and dark
Pain and ecstasy
Fire and ice
You matched me
Competed with me
Pushed me
Challenged me
Pried me open
Left me to dry
Heart flaking
Drifting like chaff on the whispers of your love
To live it all again
On repeat
Would be heaven and hell
Torturous Nirvana
I’d still say yes
