Delicate Corrosion

Beauty carved in face of marble

Traces elegant ivory curves

Scent of a bed of honey

Spun silk through my nerves.

Fires in her milky eyes

Fueled by malintent

Hours spent in suffocation

From the seconds spent.

Nails that dig into my back

And linger for days gone past

Bites that mark her gentle grasp

And fade when they should last.

Her taste that fills my open mouth

And trickles down my chin

The hunger that ceases not

That rises from within.

The hands that hold

My simple heart

Her lips that whisper still

The words which tear us apart

And yet give me my fill.
