Desire

Awake

A fiery desire roams within me

The beating pulse between my jaw and neck continues to pounce.

My hands clench and unclench,
Itching with temptation.

My eye twitches with frustration
While my teeth rip open the skin in my mouth.

A metal taste dances around my tongue,
The craving isn't enough.

Fingernails, too long,
Slit open.

Relief.

But not enough.
