I.

He bled me dry
balled up all my lust,
my passion, my elemental love
and he hurled it
against the wall he built
around himself.
It caromed off, out of site
and pulled the stopper on my heart.

Numbness pervades
day to day, night to night
I move through hours
competent, alive
breathing, not feeling.
Make me feel again!
Make me seethe, ache or burn
fill me back to brimming
with love, unbearable
pulsing love.
The kind that makes me tingle
makes me believe
I can leap higher and longer
than ever before.
Love that makes every second before you
a sad, empty memory.
Make my story start with you.
All it takes is a kiss.
