Vampire Love
you fill me so full of life it spills over my lips when i kiss you your mouth, sweet and familiar like something i’ve known longer than myself your arms wrap around me and i wonder if you feel how tightly i hold back we stand side by side toothbrushes in hand mint and morning light your shoulder brushing mine and i think was it already there? that dull ache in my teeth the quiet pressure to sink deeper scrubbing and scrubbing as if i could wear it down you laugh softly unaware or maybe you feel it just not enough to name it you’re quieter now i feel you slipping somewhere softer somewhere deeper and i let it happen warmth spills, slow and red richer than i imagined sweeter than it should be it reminds me of something childish a babybel wrapper red wax peeled back in careful strips i never ate the cheese just held the wax between my fingers pressed it, shaped it wondered at it funny how curiosity always wanted more your hands don’t push me away they just rest there lightly like you’ve forgotten what they’re for your body leans into mine not resisting not quite choosing just… giving so i take because this is love, isn’t it? to want you this much to need you this deeply to feel you become part of me i know i should stop i feel the edge of it now the point where this becomes something else but you’re so warm so soft so mine in this moment when i finally pull away you’re gone and i wait for the emptiness for the hollow ache but it never comes because you filled me completely one last time.


“your body leans into mine
not resisting
not quite choosing
just… giving “
Oo. That’s quite the evocative line. Suspenseful.
