Crawl Into My Skin

Timing, it had no regard for me

Settings, places I rather not be

Stolen, I was by your plea

Candid moments undressing me.

Beneath, I was subject to your decree

Above, I felt heights of ecstasy

Persuade...you wooed me unpreparedly.

Come, let my warmth cover, hauntingly

Every inch of me let you wrap, convincingly

My skin, your skin, enchantingly

My breath breathes you, rapidly

My eyes, your sight, consolingly

My body, your body, one, intimately.

Crawl into my skin, welcomingly

My thoughts, you think, knowingly

My heart, your beats, compellingly

Pace me from haste, swiftly

Grow me in you, engagingly

Feed you from me, enjoyably

Keep me not waiting, impatiently

Remind me, you commit, to memory

Conquer me, you overcome, triumphantly

Crawl into my skin, welcomingly.

Fixated, I absorbed you, deeply

Riveted, immersed you, profoundly

Enthralled, you entered, spellbindingly

Lift me, I rise, increasingly

My strength, your courage, daringly

My mind, you empower, alluringly

My spirit, your fortitude, resiliently

Crawl into my skin, welcomingly.
