love

such an interesting word

it rolls off my tongue like honey

dripping into my heart and filling it with sticky sweetness

love sounds different on your tongue

it tastes of spice and dishonesty

it burns my mouth and spreads through my body like wildfire

i pull and pull

waiting for the moment when your tongue tastes like mine

pleading for the moment you scoop me into your arms

begging for the moment you give me the attention i crave

scrounging every piece of myself i can give you

but it is not enough

i will never be enough for your love

yet i love you with my mind, body, and soul
