Craving // poem

A craving in the fingertips

A licking of your lips

A smile across the classroom

I roll my eyes at this

Attentive and unsure

You kissed me like I was fire

But my warmth was less alarming

Than you saw from my attire

Responsible yet crazy

From this unrelenting lust

Respectful to a daisy

Just like you know you must

A kiss upon each eyelid

As I close them both to sleep

I imagine you are with me

Just to hold me while I weep

When you're not here I'm empty

Like my blood has simply gone

This love has truly ruined me

I'm dependant as a fawn

Every day is like the last one

I cherish every kiss

Just in case one day you are gone

And there's nothing left to miss
