your hands caress and pull,
showing me the power
of my feral desire for you.
I beg you to fuck me,
to burn me alive,
to melt my boundary walls,
to make me the thing you would choose.
as your body enters mine
and your mouth takes
all there is of me,
I feel my life drain away
to be replaced
by some unknown numbness.
oh, the pump will continue to beat
and a voice that sounds like mine
will speak all the expected niceties.
my body will run after you
to request the costly passion you exact.
but my heart,
my heart will have ceased
to be more than a machine
because there is no love to warm it….
to nourish the living fire
that tried so hard to be.
….
