Rinse Me, Numb Me

No more guises    
Just look into my eyes    
Every word said, from now    
Will not be a lie    
But every word about to jump    
From your lips shall die    
Because your carnal cravings    
Will eat them alive.    
    
I'm slowly dissipating    
But I know you can revive me    
A fallen tree, I sleep here    
Slipping into lifelessness  
But I feel so ravenous    
And I know you can feel    
The thumping of my heart    
It's eager; deeply.  
    
You crawl up to me    
With a different face    
Different intentions    
Breathing different air  
I inhale your energy    
My longing embraced    
I want every trace of innocence    
Completely defaced.  
    
Overpowered    
By this yearning 
We want, we crave    
And we’re still learning    
I cannot feel a thing    
But a burning hunger    
You cling to me    
I invite you in.  
    
Of course, I do, I crave your skin    
It’s a liquid I wish to immerse myself in    
Your scent rinses me    
Keeps me within your carnal hold,      
Let the numbing begin.
