Reassurance

I drift away, 
                    yet you are still
          by my side, 
                          aching for my
                          love,
                          if only in spirit-

  I sift away,
                     yet you remain 
        loyal and tender
                           as if I was 
                           your gentle doe. 

For I never knew starvation until you 
                  satisfied my appetite-
you never knew thirst until I quenched
    with desire.


I know that our devotion can overcome
           any fallacy we may encounter,
        as I ache for your skin just to touch mine. 

     Need me as I need you,
     see me as I see you.
     Feed me as I feed you,
     be with me...tonight. 

Now I lay with chills rushing down my spine,
for you are my holy grail-
                 my lost has been found and I am
                 enraptured by your essence. 

I need reassurance...
            you stay with such ease.
