Need

In darkness lying I hear you
A whispered torment trying
To leave a permanent stain
On a heart and mind crying
Your face is haunting me
Swimming through dreams
Stalking in nightmares 
Leaving pleasure and screams
Loving you has been the beginning
And end of everything me
My endless darkest pleasure 
And my one true agony
I feel your kiss lingering 
On my very soul
While lungs fight clinging
To the every breath you stole
Your touch was liquid fire
And oh how I smolder
In the warmth of your arms 
Safe beneath your shoulder 
You are my incubus
The demon seducing me
You are taking over
And I do not want to be free
I needed you today
Yesterday and tomorrow
For you are my happiness
And my greatest sorrow
