Possessed

You're hiding somewhere
In the cold recesses of my being
And you don't come out when the sun is shining.
No.
You wait until the sun has set and the dust has settled,
You wait until its quiet and serene,
You long for when I'm all alone and with nothing to keep me busy.
For that is when you can come out from the shadows and have all of me.
That is when you can get into my head and take up all the space you want.
No one will dare enter then.
That is when you begin to actually show me your face.
You're cowardly, swollen eyes of love and hate all at once,
And you kiss me like you never have before,
And it's wild and so full of lust and love
Dear. sweet. love.
And you hold me from the inside like a warm rush on a cold night.
You make love to me when the moon shines bright.
You caress me like I'm a part of your body all together
But really it's you in me, and I'm out of control.
But that's all I have of you, just the night.
And trust me, I hate you every morning when the sun comes back out.
Because you can't just come and go when you feel like it.
You can't be so selfish as to love me only in the shadows.

Coward of the day,
Night crawler, lover of my soul,
Be not so cruel as to leave me
uncovered for the morning's cold.
