Lover's Burn

Saw you, saw you staring at me, that hunger in your eyes. You looked delicious. I wanted to eat you up, and swallow you down. Across the room, I felt the heat between us. What are you doing, my beautiful beast? It's all I can do to control myself from calling out to you, asking if it's true, that you desire me to lie down with you, under my cross that I left at your home. Am I your sweet little temptress? Watch me dance. Watch my hips, my belly sliver like a snake. Look into my eyes, my eyes of fire.... the blue seas...of pain. I want you. I yearn and burn to have you again. I love you. I hate you. I want to be free of you. Lord, oh, set me free.

This is written with clear visuals and passion, but as in another comment, I think there's more. As I can interpret this as the subject being one of abuse from a father, she knows no other, loves him, but hates him. A very good write. Michael
