Into the woods

I want to run away with you,

deep into the woods,

to drop to my knees and admit—

all I want is to serve you.

Pull me close, take control,

lead me where you want me,

make me yours.

Tell me what I need to hear,

even if it’s a lie—

I don’t care.

Just let me sink into this,

let me give in.

You know how to break me,

how to make me stay.

You always have.

I shiver when you touch me,

when your hands claim me,

when your voice tightens around my throat.

Your lips on my skin, your teeth at my ear—

I’m lost.

Is this what addiction feels like?

Nights without sleep,

thoughts of you that won’t let go.

I can’t stop wanting you.

I don’t even want to try.

Let me be your secret.

Use me.

Own me.

Take everything.

And all I want, all I need...

is the taste of you on my lips.

I love you

What is it?
To say... to confess...
"I love you."
What does that even mean?
It’s a feeling, right?
A weight.
That’s what it is.
But... I don’t know anymore.

Let me tell you, though,
It’s brave.
To say it.
To tell you I love you,
After everything.
In a world full of brave people,
I don’t even know where I stand,
Maybe I’m just the biggest coward.
Maybe I always was.

But you know that.
You’re married now, right?
Two kids.
You’re happy.
Or at least... you've moved on.
But me...
I’m still stuck.
Still in this mess.

And I’m sorry.
I never told you before,
But I always loved you.
I just never said it.
And now, here I am.
Drunk and texting.
It’s pathetic, isn’t it?
But I can’t stop.
I can’t let go.

I just...
I just wanted you to know.
