Gimme

Gimme something to kiss

I just wanna grip your skin

And make sure 

I’m not dreaming

Gimme something to kiss

I close my eyes 

And feel presence 

This little heaven

I’ve been learning

Love languages

Fluent in the damages

A sinful touch can break

But a sinful touch

Can also be what creates

I have found life

In the dirtiest corners

Felt my heart pound

When it’s acting lawless

Lied my way to sureness

And seen cratered truths

As flawless

I’ve felt pretty even when

I’m acting ugly

Don’t care what’s lead

You to love me

Danced and shaken

Naked and grubby

With the belief that 

A better morning

Will be what scrubs me

Still the nighttimes

Left their scars

Twinkling with sex

Like smoking stars

I thought I held you

Poking out my bra

But underneath lay the heat

Of my heart

I reminisce way too often

See my evil just to soften

Desire the fire I’d forgotten

But that was only lit

When I was rotten

I’ve gone cold turkey

On the biggest offenders

Turned my daggered back

On the worst pretenders

And realised my twist of the promise

Is the reason I find love horrendous

So, please, give me something to kiss

Something to press into my lips

As I cry and wash away sin 

Because you’re the only thing

That doesn’t make me want to drink

That doesn’t make me want to disappear

Let me feel the eternal baptism

I experience when you’re here.
