It’s summer here in my little corner of the world, and I’m on vacation. I’m headed to an island, with my paints and my pens and my Bear! So over the next several days, I’ll be reposting favorites:
—–
There’s something in
the look you give.
There’s a taste
of fear — something’s
just about to break.
I’m the girl you’ve been
thinking about, I am
still here and you’re still
there; baby can you feel me?
I will take your breath away
as I look into your eyes.
I know just what that means
— now the dark begins.
To rise, arms wide open,
I will shut the world away,
save your breath –it’s far
from over. I’m never
gonna leave you,
So, how can this be —
you’re praying to me?
No mercy from the edge
of the blade, you’re beautiful!
As you tear me to pieces,
it feels better, biting down.
Is it sick of me to feed
the animal in you?
It’s dark in my imagination.
Now that you’re hooked,
it’s all becoming clear.
Don’t make a sound.
Are you sick, like me?
