I Want a Lover
Updated: Jul 29, 2019
I want a lover
a lover who not only sees me
but knows me
the way that flower
knows its root
the way the moon
knows its luminescence
the way those birds
know the current of the wind
I want someone to peel me open
like the skin of an orange,
the flesh of its shell
and drink me whole
I want a lover
who digs into me
with hands scouring hills
fingernails laden in lust
lips wet with hunger
eyes wide open
I want this
the way you want me
I see this
from the longing in your eyes
the way your tongue
licks your lips
how you harbor
a sadness inside
I'm still waiting for you
to show me
what it's like to be known
how it feels to be seen
and I want you,
and only you,
to show me
