Beneath My Skin

I can feel you. Beneath my skin.

I want you there no matter how debilitating the thrill.

It’s crippling and I’m certain you’ll never know exactly how it feels.

Sometimes words just aren’t enough so I won’t waste the breaths that I desperately need when I’m in your presence, when inhaling is almost too tough.

I can feel you. Beneath my skin. I want you there.
