this is wrong, this is all wrong

I used to be so strong, 
but loving you has made me weak.
Now I dig my fingernails
into the palms of my hands
just to remind myself
of what it feels like to be powerful.

you and I will devour each other

You and I will devour each other like there is a fire inside burning up every bit of poetry scribbled down on the backs of napkins, every line you have ever spilled into me, pushed past my lips and scraped along my teeth with your tongue. We become wild things with sharp claws that rip and tear and bite, there are monsters in your voice when you moan into me and I am falling quickly in love with each and every one of them. And to be honest touching you touching me has provided me with enough material to last through years of loneliness, there is a quiet storm behind my eyelids when I am alone in bed with my hands between my thighs, there is a tidal wave screaming your name that only escapes in satisfied sighs.

I fall in love with people who whistle or hum songs that have been stuck in their heads for weeks and walk with clumsy feet and bite their lips absentmindedly and whose eyes light up when they talk about their favorite things and like to jump in rain puddles and twirl their fingers in their hair and hold their coffee cups with both hands and blush at every compliment and unknowingly speak in poetry and practice their signatures and hold eye contact for so long it makes me uncomfortable.
