he touched me and i didn’t flinch

rather, i found myself leaning into his caress

found myself making excuses to feel his skin on mine

found myself craving the sensation

found myself wanting

found myself

i am sun-warmed sand under your gaze

He wrapped his arms around me.

I am a prisoner in my own flesh.

[bittersweetsadist]

I want to hand my life over to someone and have them caress my very soul with their kindness, their love and warmth.

I want to feel safe in the arms of another, not feel the need to wince or cringe away from the out-thrown arms of a lover.

I want to release control to someone who understands how to hold the reins. To let go of it all and not be scared of the fall.

[bittersweetsadist]

And you must not know me

To not think I wouldn’t bend to your ways, your words.

You must not know me

To believe you could shape me, mold me to your desires.

You must not know me

To assume I’d take on any form but my own.

The air here is suffocating, heavy, tense.

I know a place where the air smells good for you, feels good for you, is good for you.

I know a place where the monsters and beasts and demons can’t reach you.

I know a place where I can just be.

I harbor love in my heart, so much it hurts. My love encompasses all, it extends to the unworthy. So when you ask why I hold so few in my life, it’s to protect myself from burning for someone who only wanted to use the flames for destruction.

It’s to save myself from my own fire.

he once said to me, “i hope you genuinely love me, i hope you’re not obsessed and once the obsession is over you leave.”

but, the man i loved was an illusion. nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

i am not prey.

somehow, you lost yourself along the way to betterment. somehow, you became the monster you swore to destroy. somehow, i’ve got to let you go.

[bittersweetsadist]

i don’t know if it’s selflessness or selfishness. i’ve lost myself somewhere between the two.

[bittersweetsadist]

you eat, sleep, and breathe me. you worship me just as i worship you. on two knees in the bedroom, in between couch cushions, upon the kitchen counter. i will pray to you eternally.
