Two Hearts

Lust:                                                             Love:

you                                                                oh you,

are the thief of                                               my heart, you have consumed

my lonely soul,                                              my throat is in your hands 

my lips ache for your touch,                          my tears stain your skin,

my skin prickles                                             and my stomach churns miserably,

and                                                                yet I cannot hope

I cannot bear to let you escape,                    to tear myself from your sweet embrace,

for then I would betray myself…                    I cannot stand this world without you, so, 

please stay with me,                                      my darling,              

I will smother you with my warmth,                if to love is to sin, then I will surely go to hell…

Just let me be your candle in the dark           for you, I'd burn as bright and steady as the stars.
