If you stay by my side

my heart will burn you

first with little flickers

and then an eruption of arson

I want everything all to myself

I need to hear I am loved at

least 100 times a day

smother me with your affection

suffocate me with your adoration

I want my high back

that feeling I knew when you

craved me

(it’s long gone)

I’m a ghost aching for desire

delicate, fluctuating, possessive

everything you are is mine
