drowning in cabernetShe tried drowning

drowning them all

in cabernet

*

the burn for touch

along every inch

and unusual place

of desperate skin

*

the ache to be seen

as beautiful

and hear the words

in sincerity

*

the craving for kisses

long and slow

adoring and true

any given time of day

*

the hunger for eyes and smile

to light up

as he looked at her

in mundane moments

*

the thirst for romance

sexy or silly

reminding her

it is still alive

*

the thrill of

teasing and flirting

being 19 again

lost in their own world

*

the desire to be

his everything

cherished and loved

held so tightly

inside his heart

she would never think

of drowning
