THE RELEASE

BITE ME

TEASE ME WITH YOUR LIPS

BREATHE UPON MY SKIN

FEEL MY BODY TENSE IN EXPECTATION

RELEASE ME

SINK YOUR TEETH INTO WILLING FLESH

LISTEN TO MY MOAN

CATCH MY BODY AS IT FALLS

TEETH STILL WITHIN ME

SCRAPE UPON MY VEINS

SEPERATE MUSCLE, SINEW

DIG DEEPER INTO MY SOUL

YOUR SALVATION WITH MY PAIN

CONTROL ME

BREAK ME

DON’T MAKE ME BEG

PLEASE

IT’S A DESIRE THAT CONSUMES US BOTH

ONE BEAST WITHIN TWO BODIES

THERE IS A SNARL IN MY EAR

THE BREATH SO HOT IT BURNS

IT SPEAKS NOW, GUTTURAL

WARNS ME NOT TO TOUCH BELOW THE WAIST

IT IS THE VOICE OF DESIRE

IT IS AT ONCE UNHOLY,

YET AS NATURAL AS THE BLOOD THAT PUMPS WITHIN OUR VEINS

IT IS A DESIRE AS OLD AS CREATION

THREATENS TO DESTROY US BOTH

IT IS A DRUG THAT CONSUMES

FILLS THE NIGHT WITH A YEARNING THATS PAINFUL

IT CARESSES THE WAKING MOMENTS

AND SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT TO BE HEARD

TO BE OBEYED

TO BE FULFILLED

TO JOIN WITH THE OTHER

TO BE RELEASED

YET EVERY MOMENT OF DENIAL MAKES IT ALL THE SWEETER FOR THE PAIN

ALL THIS RAGES THROUGH MY SOUL

YOUR KISSES SCOUR ME

YOUR NAILS PLOUGH FURROWS IN MY SKIN

MY FLESH WILL BEAR EVIDENCE OF YOUR PASSING

AND FINALLY YOU SPEAK THE WORDS THAT SIGNAL TE RELEASE

“ON YOUR KNEES”
