i. so wrong it's addicting
our metaphorical incest is
a simple enough equation,
sin purity, multiplied
by skin against metal and
love bites that never
linger
for more than a second,
just like your kisses
(so is it so wrong for me
to want just a bit more? or does my desire break the metaphor--)
ii. opposites attract, and we're just screwed up magnets
maybe if we weren't so
alike,
you wouldn't want me to
change for you
every time we fuck.
i was reborn by mercury
and fire,
and you were reborn by
steel and light,
so it's only natural for
me
to stay away
(because I love you too
much to melt you)
iii. wish on a star; and it falls
You hold these green locks
and wish they were golden,
I am your wishing well so
just
pop in a couple of kisses
and embrace me the way I
am
just once
so my heart can shatter
happily
(so much).
iv. if i gave you my dreams
a stifling thought
in a stifling heat.
if I wake up, creased and
stained from nights before,
and you're still there,
am I allowed
to stop dreaming?
the thought dissolves in
orgasm
just like my body.
silly envy,
don't you know he never
leaves?
