Becoming

There is no gauzy aura
around this love
there is only hunger and need,
passion and power.
There are no safe places,
no unconquered terrain,
you see me
see through me,
you touch me and smell me
devour and taste me.
You tread the corridors of
my brain, you fill my lungs with air
your fingers are curled tightly around
my heart.
You discover me
in bits and pieces
and you show to me
a self I do not recognize.
Am I becoming
what you have made me?
Or is this who I should have been
all along?
