You Live Within The Depths Of Night

I see you at night within my dreams. You are the ecstasy and the fear. I want you and wanting you makes me afraid.

To feel you close, to smell the cologne you leave behind on my sheets, to feel the ghost of your kiss on my lips.

I want that all, yet nothing at all. Knowing you have my heart and mind, none of it sits right with me. How can you be so all-consuming?

Your voice lives in my head and wants me wanting you, but I can't. I can't give myself so willingly to you. Your siren charms can't work on me. I will fight them.

But then you hold me close and promise to never hurt me and I melt in your touch. The burning sensation my skin feels with your fingers on me, I go crazy. I want you, but I don't want to want you.

I want you to hold me forever and never let me go. I want your lips to mark my entire body as yours. I want your hands to hold my face when you kiss me deeply.

Your existence consumes my mind, and I don't know how to get you out.
