Why I Love
Marcus Perkins
There you are, coming at me again
Your power continuously drawing me in.
The taste of your love
Something that I can’t begin
To describe to someone who
Has never had it.
I want to walk away and be free
Instead I can’t get away from the thing that we
Know will end up killing me.
Your presence blinds me to the shame
The anger and pain
Of where my life had once taken me.
Your touch sends shivers
Of pleasure through me.
Your effect cuts through my memories
I find it extraordinary.
The need to forget
And help me sleep
Is what drew me in momentarily.
The promises kept
Of dreamless nights
Caught me up,
Hook, sinker, and line.
I want to drink you in
Until my life slips away
Because alcohol acts
Well…
As a lover to me.
