bake my ache

you know you are heroin
a euphoria-dressed succubus
out in the light of day
luring eyes into dark alleyways

im an addict you know
weak to nearly all your magic
my knees buckle with just the whiff of your thoughts
you breed chronic helplessness

and it is beautiful

invite me into your little cave
with tiny walls and sharp teeth
to keep me like prey
for your rainy days of woe

stretch me on your canvas
and bake my ache
just so that you can see
the braise of who you be
