Needing Want

By Mehana Agnihotri

I want to be held 

Through the night

After you have 

Devoured me just right 

I want filthy words 

And promises that won't be broken 

I want my cries to be heard

Even when left unspoken 

I want ruin and reverence 

Rolled into one 

I want someone 

who will stay

Than someone who will run

I want to be

Set ablaze 

In a never ending fire 

Burning me in

The wildest way 

I want love 

I want truth 

I want everything 

As long as it's from you 

I want you to stay 

Please don't run away

I need you too much 

And I need  you to tell me 

That you feel the same
