It’s a shame

that i want more of you

always more

so much more

like a hungry wolf

chasing down for food

it’s like that for you

more of your breaths

your touch

those whispers

those butterfiles

i tame

more of you

those seconds

those days

even the spaces

between your breaths

heartbeats sounding next to mine

more of you

smelling in my blankets

the leftover vibes

from my nights and mornings

i guess

it’s a shame

to be wanting so much

does that make me look desperate?

needy perhaps?

but I can’t help

it’s a shame

I guess

to be loving with a love

that is never satiated

it’s a shame

isn’t it?

to want another

more than

your own life

your own breath
