give me the city that never sleeps
with its constant buzz and grimy bars
the one we end up strewn across
from hotel lobbies to unnamed cars
i don’t need to scream
make me forget how to breathe instead
tangle your fingers through my hair
enmesh yourself in my bed
drink me in, the way you do a good red wine
slowly, at first, just one sip
let the crushed grape linger on the back of your tongue
then hold it there and feel the bite against your lip
you crave kisses by the truckload
you know i long for them too
the nape of my neck, the curve on your chest
i’ll never stop devouring you
you love my pure heart
you want my dirty mind
come home to them both and tempt fate
it’s only in seeking that you may find
