HALVES

I sink my teeth into your thigh.
I leave my marks in your soul.
I bite your back,
I lick your neck.
You make me feel a little
Appalled at my own promiscuity.
But you provide me an opportunity
To appreciate my virility
And…
We touch each other completely.
I love your dependability.
I engulf and you long to escape
But no one is free.
You are nothing but a copy
Of me.
You have no freedom, no independence,
No identity at all.
I know what I do,
Gives me an incredible power
Over you…
And you can feel,
And you can see,
You are split into two irreconciliable halves
And both belong to me.
