Everlasting

My brain was foggy that night,
Drunk on the memories of your taste.
I needed to hear your voice
Over and over
To reassure my greedy tongue
That it has tasted the alcohol of your skin,
My body and mind addicted
To the honey that drips from your words.
You're like a drug that loves back
And doesn't leave me cold and frail.
Instead I am vibrant and full of color.

The only side effect of you
Is that I only want more.
The withdrawals become vicious with time,
And it's foggy nights like these
Where I need your arms around my waist,
Lips pressed gently to my neck
So I can soak in your scent, fill my pale pores.
I'll let you seep into the cracks of my dry skin,
Bury yourself in each crevice
Until your electricity ignites my body into flame.
I need you to last me through my lonely days.
