Forever Addicted

Your kiss ignites the ashes layered across my soul. 
Adrenaline guides the flame; 
The heat melts the ice in my veins. 
My muscles twitch and quiver, 
I surrender to your consuming embrace. 
 
Your gentle caress soothes the burn. 
Your warm breath envelops me; 
Smoke rises and drifts away. 
We stand in the pouring rain. 

Your eyes gaze intently into mine. 
My darkest secrets betray me; 
Fear flickers behind failed intentions. 
Our hearts stop beating, 
Our fingers slowly untwine.

Your cold smile slices through my apology. 
Words drip useless to the ground; 
The heat abandons my body, 
I scream as you walk away.
Your affection engages violent fantasies. 
Lies somehow became the truth; 
Your name is tattooed over them all. 
Your hate fuels my aggression, 
The flame glows deep within. 
  
Kiss me and breathe in the heat. 
You brand me with your curse; 
Don’t deny the sting, 
This mistake refuses to be swept away
