Pry

 I ripped myself open

Exposed my tattered insides

Let the world realize

my impulse 

is anything but pure

My racing pulse

My audacity falls to the floor

My cracking backbone 

The pillar of my soul

begins to break and fold

I reach in and throw my heart to your feet

If you were to stare past my blue lips

You could see my passion

Weak and hungry

Butterflies burst from my stomach

Fluttering away

I would use my last breath

to ask you to do the same

Such a demented

Yet definitive declaration of desire... I love it!
And yes, alliterate, I did.


Brilliant work. I'd give it three thumbs up if I had a spare ;)

Because passion

Takes it's strength from us, leaving us breathless, famished, and left wanting in its wake.
