ambition

i’m the insatiable cravings

that run through her like whiplash 

tearing through her veins, 

reaching the popped blood vessels

of her feet to her tired hands as she tries

to work late into the night

i’m the carrot, the prize, she’s the 

foolish rabbit letting me guide her

as her primal desire lets me 

i’m the insatiable cravings that

kisses at her brain tangible in my iridescent palms, 

i wrapped it gently bringing it to my lips as i nip

at every little portion of what 

makes her think. i want to be in her lust

i want to be in her fear, i am never   relenting 

i’m the insatiable cravings that drive

her feet to keep moving everyday

i keep her alive and wanting. i am there when no one else is

i’ll make her eyes    shine 

as she looks at the stars if only to blur her vision

so she doesn’t see 

how i keep her from settling 

into mediocrity instead of

madness

i’m her insatiable cravings but 

it’s because i love her

i want her to be great. 

i want to consume her and be in every part of her 

and she wants me too 

i am her insatiable cravings…but she is also mine.

she consumes me.
