Longing Poem by Paige DeRogatis

Upon thy stunning face, my hazel optics linger

I trace a pair of softened lips with each and every finger

Your silken pelt of auburn hair cascades beneath my hands

My darkened soul pours into yours like ocean onto sands

The faint yet longing whispers that melt into my ears

Tempt me to grasp your sweet embrace as hatred disappears

Please don't ever leave me, for my swollen heart would split

The evil minions would return, and fragile wrists I'd slit
