I’m in training. I can feel my will bending in awkward directions, my mind kneeling in front of you. You want me to crave you, to deny myself for you, to punish myself for you. You want me to let you consume me, tear me up from the inside. You want me to want you […]
I miss missing you. I’m so wrapped up in being his, I can’t remember how to be human, how to be me. I am three now, instead of two, and my walls are rising as fast as they fall. And I miss missing you. I miss thinking of your smile, your gentle words and strong […]
This is so intense, how much my life is affected by you. Of all the people in the world. You. Every moment, I feel like I’m breaking apart. I’m breaking apart, and I don’t understand what’s happening to me. I don’t recognize myself, this new person in the mirror. You still don’t seem real but […]
I am a swarm, a hive of moments, desires, needs that buzz and vibrate against my skin, begging to get out. I’m moving so quickly and I can’t slow down. I want the energy, the vibrance in your presence, your ever-hovering presence in my mind, like a swarm, a hive of moving, clinging, vibrating, delirious […]
Each request is a shedding of layers, a quiet submission burning my insides. This unquenchable need to be who you want, do what you want, it devours me, your letters burrowing beneath my flesh, digging their claws into my skin, holding on and forcing me to relinquish. I crave your voice in my ear, the […]
You are this figment, this dream, this memory. I see you and don’t see you. I read your words, hear your voice, but the man in front of me, I’m just not sure you fit into the box I’ve made for you, the one I hammered into place in my mind. You are hard and […]
I’ve always wanted to be yours, to belong to only you. I fought to find that place when we were children, to feel like I could let you have all of me. I didn’t see then. I didn’t understand. Neither of us did. We have always been this way, and I have always been yours. […]
How can giving up control feel like freedom? Remove the choice and courage is easy to find. It sits right in front of you, waiting for you, and a command was all you needed. Remove the freedom and freedom is all that’s left. A paradox. It is all yours, my hands, my body. I will […]
There will never be a time when I will not love you. I will love you a few hours from now when I’m lying in bed imagining your hand on my cheek or your fingers in my hair. I will love you next week when I’m driving to work and that song comes on and […]
When you think about who someone is, who they really are, not some made-up image of who you want them to be, it’s not hard to recognize the truth, to see reality staring at you, those rose-colored glasses cast away and understanding looking at you under a direct gaze. I see, for once. Is this […]
