Void Words

 

I want love, the words

From your mouth proclaiming me

Your everything 

Always

But only 

If you really mean it 

OtherwiseI'll settle

For your bare skin and my mine

Moving 

Against each other in time

To old slow soul music, we'll use it

To keep time, rhythm, racing 

Of hearts under dim light or stars 

Melting like chocolate 

Kisses keeping count of how 

You just can’t keep your mouth 

Off me. off we go through motions, Oceans 

Find their salt in us, sweat sets up 

Tents on what we make of love 

Skin coated, glowing 

Slowing down time with each stroke 

We grind hours down to dust 

Fine if you can’t give me love 

But just never cease to be this drug 

I want the words…but 

Only if you mean them and I know you won’t 

You can’t so I’ll hope 

To have your nights instead 

Hard, hot, fast, that’s all, my heart won’t last  

But those words will fill my voids in bed
