My Heart

Notice how my heart is like a cage
Locked up, afraid to let others in
Not wanting to get hurt again
Will I ever be able to heal?

Sweet Love

Lips matching
In passionate kisses
Holding tight
Never wanting to let go
Whispering beautiful words

A Hot Breakfast

Desire beats down
cracks my lip
splits it open
like legs in wanting
The taste of iron turns sweeter
with every bite of the apple

Beautiful Liar

Water fell from eyes
which held a face staring; me
Hiding will not pass
the sight of your wanting need
So I'll beautifully lie...

Can You Feel It

Love in the air
can you smell it
Always so loud 
can you hear it 
Out on the Prowl
Can you see it
Always wanting more 
Do you need it

Guardian Angel

White wing and wide eyes on me
Guardian angel
All recorse is possible
Walking next to me
Wanting to save me
From my fall
Blessed

Trapped

I'm Trapped
Unable to escape
The torment
I feel every day
Locked inside a body that I hate
Wanting to rip the flesh
Off my bones

Onlookers stamp and shriek for blood
Wanting gruesome
Hoping for death
Gladiators face off
Not wanting to disappoint thrill seekers

Wanting is not getting.

And getting is not wanting.

Only when the two are combined.

Will your thoughts and desires be aligned.

Premium Member Death's Minions

I saw a dark mass
A floating dying being
Looking fierce, deadly
Wanting to steal away souls
Hope it’s not looking for me
