Necessity

This aching feeling
In the pit of my soul
The spikes
That have grown
Around my heart
This insane need
To drink you
In when you are near
And to never let you go
To breathe in
Every part of you
That I can
To swallow your essence
In mighty gulps
Lest a drop run free
From my grip
These feelings,
I fear
Are the beginning
Of the end
And I think
You feel it too.
I want your fingerprints
Forever
Embedded in my bones.
