Tantalize

Chains
Wrapped around my heart
A slave girl
Pleading for release
Wrists in cuffs
On my knees
Wanting to be intoxicated by your touch

Come around and feed me
I'm ravenous
Begging for scraps
From you, a rich man engorged
On the flesh of a million hearts
Laughing girls who smell of incense,
Burning for you.

You bind me here
Beating me with the weight of your absence.
The cage is open, but it's a cruel trick,
The imprisonment sinister.
You're deep inside, an infection,
Sickened to know you're the only cure.

With you.  Without you.
My heart starves
Famished, I'm here,
Stark bones in the dark
