a madhouse love story
I still remember every detail of the night we first met, just us two
when you pulled me through the madhouse door
the fun kind I mean
the kind that draws you in with a crooked smile stitched across the doorframe
before you led me down the mad maze,
I see us in your room
my knees wrapped around your hips, a brush between my lips
I was painting a clown mask on you
our faces close enough so you could see
right through me
and when you said you like my energy, the words slipped quietly under my skin
It felt like your voice had grown invisible fingers
slowly undressing me
It was a little scary, the intriguing kind
the kind that pulls you closer with a crooked smile
Your gaze stripped me bare
I’m a little obsessed with how it cut right through me
desire wore your face
so I let it consume me
and it never left
it settled instead, like fine ink under my skin
lingering there forever
because I want it to
I’m deeply in love with everything that makes you, you
