Tethered

Your touch
Your fingers in my hair
Your words 
Harsh against my face

Its like a slap
When you look at me that way
I want to hate you
Until you bleed a different color

Love, lust and loathing
Pouring from my veins
You're like a drug
That slowly kills me from the inside

I won't crawl
On my hands and knees for you
Not this time
I've opened up enough

It's your turn
To take your time 
And weigh the situation
I'll be here 
If you decide to find me
