Enough?



Bite.  Swallow.  Absorb it all.
Feel the rush.  See me fall.
So high.  It fades. Ready to drop.
So much desire.  Make it stop.
Your smell.  Your salt.  Your sour sweet.
Give me your flesh.  Give me your heat.
It's not enough.  I need new taste.
Do not be sad.  This was not a waste.
You'll be a choice I will always savor.
You are perfect.  But I need new flavor.
I come crawling back.  I've had enough new.
All I ever really wanted was you.
You smile.  You tell me that I must see.
Love trapped you here.  But I set you free.
