Once More

A Poem by Hope
"

How you look like you could devour me in the most delicious way, and how I would let you

"
What would it be like to kiss familiar lips? 
Would it feel like home? 
Safe, welcoming, warm, loving 
Or would it retain the initial thrill of 
Breathless heat 
My chest drumming to a wild beat 
A smooth caress 
Wanting to undress 
And fireworks 
Or something entirely new? 
Stepping out from under the cloud 
That's clung to my brow 
Something akin to a reawakening 
Something not heartbreaking 
Not earth shattering 
But rejuvenating? 
Would you taste like I remember? 
Like wood and spice and mint
Or will it be different
Will you be different? 
Strange how comforted I am by your presence 
I wanted you to kiss me 
I wanted you to make the tears
Staining my face
Disappear
And replace my blood
With the sweetest nectar 
To kiss me until I forget 
Every bad man who came before 
To kiss me until I'm clean. 
Until I'm pure. 
I wanted to tell you everything
I wanted to be wrapped in you
And get away as fast as I can
I forgot the magnetic pull you have
Where everyone wants to be near you
Attracting while I repel
But you pulled closer to me
I fell
You had that look in your eyes
Playing at a smile
How you looked like you could devour me 
In the most delicious way
And how I would let you
Has me running
Away form you
Right back into you
Please lean in 
Please get away
Please
Lean in
And meet my lips
Once more
Just so I can figure it out
