If I wrapped my legs around you, you would never be free


I’ve been dragged into dark corners
held strong jaws between my hands
and pretended they were you
as I gave into moments best forgotten
as my back was against the wall
your name crossed my lips
before I could call it back
he didn’t notice
but i could feel the branded whisper
build momentum
so I stole away
taking my drunken and flushed form
into the light that never welcomed me

you plague my steps
my weary eyes
you keep my loneliness close under the skin
you
the shadow I can’t bear to face
the temptation I fight day after goddamn day

  1. if you had your legs wrapped around me why would i want to be free?”you keep my loneliness close under the skin” <— a great line i would keep it there to hide it from you and to remind me of my need for you.
