I'M... Poem by Brian Hinckley

I see you there, burning, waiting for me to taste you,
put you to my lips and feel you enter me.
Exotic and dangerous, you invade my thoughts,
to touch, to hold, to taste you - I'm weak.

I want to give in to you, just as you want to give in to me,
our embrace burning both of us with our mutual fire.
Consume me, defeat me, let me take you in,
you're in my bloodstream and I like it - I'm yours.

You're bad for me and I know it, but I can't help it,
I should leave you be and go away, I know it.
I want to quit you and sever you from my life,
but I can't escape how you make me feel - I'm alive.

Burn me down and take me for who I am,
charred remains of a heart once empty.
I can't get you out of my mind and I don't want to,
you consume me, devour me, swallow me whole - I think I'm in love.
