In one gasping, laughing breath
all I wanted in the world stood before me.
I wanted nothing but to feel the blade
start engraving your name into my heart.
I waited years to scream your name in ecstacy.
Despair has held that dear place inside me
until nothing else could replace you,
nothing else could take away my need,
and that burning desire of lust I denied
for way, way too long this time.
I think about the skirts I want to wear,
and the hope that your mouth will drop...
In the hopes that just once a promise I made
might see itself come true to life...
come true to my body
come true to all I ever wanted.
you.
