This

Look. There is no easy way to say this.
This devouring need; I can’t downplay this.

You’re in me, deep; I need you closer still.
Where you end, I begin. Can’t betray this.

Look at you. You steal my breath, you make me
Ache with want. A wick that won’t burn away? This.

I need you. I am consumed by your love
Anyway, so have me. Don’t delay this.

You fill me, and engulf me. So take all
Of me, E. I am yours. Every day. This.
