Before You Go

Enchant this layer of my skin with your gentle touch Ignite these stagnant flames in my body and make me burn for you Before you leave, my darling, make my reaching heart call your name One last time. My emotions would like to understand yours. Let our bodies intertwine and make fine wine. You'll taste mine, and I'll taste whatever it is you leave behind. Before you go, whisper my name one last time in the drums of my soul. Numbness overtook my lips with every bite as you kissed from my toes My love, before you go to a place I can not find you, return the essence of our love. Help my relentless heart taw from this suffering you brought to us. Replenish my trust in these unwanted emotions that cloud my judgment Leave a piece of you with me so I can preserve your civility and presence
