BITE ME

[u/Brilliant_Present653]

A little disclaimer I don’t write poetry, I was just bored and slightly inspired by my English class so I decided to whip up this bad boy in my notes.please have mercy I wrote this at 4 in the morning and I’m terrible at poetry.please go easy on my poor soul I know it’s super short🥹 I hope I made everything understandable but please let me know if anything is confusing I do apologize if my grammar is garbage.

You found me, but I can’t run from you.
My legs rooted to the ground like a doe among hunters; it only drew you closer.
And my heart changes its tune.
I had no choice but to be infatuated with you.
Bite me,
Until my skin welts, knowing my heart beats with reverence.
Bite at every exposed inch leaving nothing but blooming pools in me.
If you quiet my yearning, let the morning sun cease to come.
I know I am not what you need; let me be your relief.

You, full of messy curls and sharp teeth.
You, the mirage that haunts my visions.
Oh, what will become of my aching heart when the sun sets and we must part?
You, a night sky yet, somehow so kindred to me.
You, clawed and carefree,
Won’t you take every piece of me.

For I am the same: four-legged and clawed.
Messy and melancholic, with you as my guide.
Aching to bite, to sink my teeth in and leave my own mark.
Maybe then you’ll hold me close to your heart.
For I am animal, naked and free, but my heart is human and filled unrequited sweetness.
Let it jump out of its cage and into your arms.
What will become of me if I am not yours?
