Sexy, gorgeous, haunting- taunt me
just to lie awake in vain
with lips like sugar
and words like venom
________
A heart darkening with passion
pulse and panic
like slow suicide
of flesh and stardust
________
It’s all laid bare
every deep, dark, happy thought
ever in the continued pursuit
of that which still eludes

Definitely felt some sadness and anger in this, had a very haunting quality. It really captures the feeling of pursuing someone when they’re not necessarily good to you. Love it!
