sometimes i get an itch
an itch so severe
it makes me lose my thoughts
have you ever had that feeling?

when you are tickled with a sensation that it tends to get uncomfortable?
im starting to get them often
usually it'd happen once a day when we'd talk
a message from you
made the itch vibrate

why?
how can a notification turn me mad?
i put my phone on 'do not disturb' hoping that a certain ding wouldn't awaken the itch
it worked for a moment
only
one
fucking
moment

then it started again
i'd see your notification and this feeling of needing to  scratch my body until my skin bleeds comes into place
i'm burning
i feel like an addict
waiting to get my daily dose of you

i crave our talks
our connection
you

i get jealous of other people because they can look at you while i get a pixelated version of you
why would you put me in this position?

it's not your fault i supposed
i don't think it was your intention to make a person like me fall in admiration of you
was it?
do tell me at once if it was

i'm hungry for more of you
starving almost
i want you to be vulnerable with me
experience emotions
show me the worst
along with the good
please

i imagine your hands caressing me when i'm lonely at 2 am
do you do this too, my love?
i make up dreams about you where you're the hero in each one
the complex suits you well

i'm so sleepy darling
lay with me
and tell me something about science
i know how much you love that god awful subject
remove my hair from my face while i listen to you ramble about monosaccharides
be a memory and not a lesson
scratch my body
with your callous hands
kiss the red marks 
you've left
and stay awhile
stay
for me.

—itch of lust for you
