My Addiction

Like licking honey
off a sharp knife
my addiction

Sinful eyes of want
soul searing need
loving affliction


She whispers prayers
in the night
to salt my dreams


As an animal
cinnamon-sweet
carnal screams

So true and clear
her black-green
jealous heart


She claws my back
she draws my blood
she tears me apart


she beckons
pain to vanish
my addiction
