laments-and-burlesque:

You were cold, bereft; a star setting under indifferent waves

Soon to be consumed by saltwater and night

But don’t give in, my disappearing one:

I’m your a life-jacket, your solitude, your retreat

The hands you crave when it gets too much

So be prone, be still, be a good girl

Wash away in the tide

In time you’ll remember nothing, just this ocean-deep and solemn peace

Just this moment, just “right now”

Just you… and just me

Under your skin with my blood-thirsty neurosis

Begging me to hollow you out

With your mouth gleaming wet and the word ‘sir’ on your whore-lips

Saying yes to my darkest of whims

Twisting me in circles, my soul is a rioting expectation

Darker, darker… and darker still

The first time he went down on me was in a hot tub. We were horny teens out of town for a, of all things, religious convention! Other kids were in the hot tub.

And that tongue.
