in the light

you watched me deteriorate
you danced in the puddles of
my anxiety
you watched as i drowned
in the sea of my idleness

i cried for you
i fell to my knees
and beseeched
i gave myself to you
for you to do as you wish
you cleansed yourself
in my blood
my hurt
my tears
my pain
my hollowness

i let you fill me up
until i overflowed
leaving my cup ran dry

you made me feel empty

every night i'd lie down
bare and waiting
for you to do what you
so savagely do;
consume me
lose yourself
in my body
you feed on me
until you are satisfied
until you are relieved
until you feel whole
until you have emptied me

we are so confined to that dark room
im beginning to think my name is midnight
i don't think i could recognize those eyes
if the sun did decide to rise

i long to be more
than just a feed
more than just
your shame
more than just what
you do in the dark
i want to be your
light
i long to feel
whole with you

let this last more than tonight
why wont you touch me in the light
