Velvet Hunger

You came to me, a fevered bloom
With eyes that danced like scented doom
You tore through all I kept inside
In shadows wrapped, with lust as guide

Your touch, a silence set on fire
A maze without a known desire
You wore my ache like second skin
A holy vice I'd die within

I longed to drown in your delight
To be your altar in the night
In every breath, a slow decay
Where flesh ignites and soul gives way
Velvet hunger, soft disguise
Your kiss, a blade in sweet surprise

Your tongue wrote oaths in secret places
Stripping silence from my skin
Your moans declared my slow defeat
Your love, a poison, rich and sweet

Within your lips, both end and start
A ritual that tears apart
My reason slips into your gaze
And in your beauty, I'm erased

Whisper my name in darkest rooms
Burn your desire into my veins
Whether curse or ecstasy
Let me burn inside your history

I longed to drown in your delight
To be your altar in the night
In every breath, a slow decay
Where flesh ignites and soul gives way
Velvet hunger, soft disguise
Your love, my final, sweet demise
