Want

Nichola "Nicki" Topolnicki 1972 (Colorado Springs, Colorado)



You were just here…
Your scent lingers in my senses….

I can still hear your voice…
Echoing in my mind…dreams

I am tormented by my dreams…(demons..?) of you
Toss and turn---sleep does not come

Just look at me!
Notice me once—just once!!
It’s driving me insane with this want…. (of you..)

Everywhere I am you are everywhere
Your scent…your voice…your touch…
I can’t stand this want…
I can’t escape you...
I just want….(you)

You…in your guilded cage…
My want…you were never meant to see…
My darkest secret…

Everywhere I am you are everywhere…
Your scent…your face…your touch…
I can’t stand this want…
I can’t escape you…
I just want…..(you)

Will you…
Could you…
Would you…
Release me?
If you knew…
If you felt…
This Want I have of you!!!
