Lovesick

Neil.E

And I want you to hold me

Suffocate my hurt

Kiss me at my worst

 

Give me a home a place to go

Set a place for me at your table

Without your grasp I feel unstable

 

Scratch my cheeks soft and slow

Gnaw through my skin

Let your teeth sink in

 

I'll be good for you

Just be good for me

Give me guarantee

Please, I beg, please

  • Comment from author about the poem: I have been so desperate for "someone special" from a very early age. I didn't understand, why I felt so awful sleeping alone, even after what happened to me in her bed. I recently learned it's not love, it's limerence, a desperate obsessive kind of love, it scares me. And then when I did find someone who could have been good for me, I freaked out and was genuinely convinced that he was a bad person who was inevitably going to hurt me. I'm avoiding "love" altogether until I can heal from limerence. I've hurt a lot of people and messed up a lot of good friendships because of it, it haunts me at night. I hate that desperation drove me crazy, but worse I chose to follow it into insanity.
