Many times I have
Wrapped myself in your love
Like a security blanket-
The only thing keeping me alive.

If I was sure of your love,
There was hope.
I sat around with prostitutes,
Killing the pain with sex and

Drugs, which is why
I'm taking my time.
I watch you sleep.
I watch you talking, happy.

I know your secret pain.
Everyone wants to be
Loved. I adore you. I want
My skin rubbing on yours,

My lips pressed against
Yours- a tight embrace-
both filling ourselves
With light.

Because it doesn't end.
We are awake and sober.
My love for you will be the
Super-conductor of ecstasy

in this life and the next.
A tight embrace.

A pure thought.
