I saw it flicker when you held my gaze, That quiet fracture beneath your restraint, You wear your innocence like itโ€™s a shield, But I can see exactly where it breaks. You donโ€™t recoil when I get too close, You let it linger, you let it breathe, Like part of you was waiting for thisโ€” Something that doesnโ€™t leave. Donโ€™t dress it up, Donโ€™t make it clean, You know this lives In what we mean. Say you want it, donโ€™t turn away, Say you feel it crawling your veins, Call it twisted, call it wrongโ€” Youโ€™ve been holding it this long. Let it take you, let it show, All the things you donโ€™t outgrow, If Iโ€™m a sickness, say it slowโ€” You donโ€™t want me to let go. You lean in closer when I confess, Like every word just tightens the thread, No fear in the way that you hold your breath, Just anticipation instead. You trace the edge but never retreat, You match the rhythm under my skin, This isnโ€™t something I do aloneโ€” Youโ€™re pulling me further in. No absolution, No disguise, You meet me steady Eye to eye. Say you want it, donโ€™t hesitate, Say you crave what you canโ€™t escape, Call it hunger, call it fateโ€” You were never meant to wait. Let it take you, let it grow, Feed the thing you barely show, If Iโ€™m your ruin, let me knowโ€” You donโ€™t want me to let go. Stay. Closer now. Donโ€™t pretend You donโ€™t know how. You felt it Before I spokeโ€” Every glance, Every choke Of the silence You let bendโ€ฆ You donโ€™t want this To end. Say you need it, say it plain, Say you love the weight, the chain, Call it dark, but donโ€™t denyโ€” You were drawn to what I hide. I wonโ€™t fight it, neither will you, This is everything we choose, If this consumes us, let it throughโ€” You were made to want this too. Donโ€™t ask me to stop. Youโ€™d hate the silence.
