I Need You

i need you like an electric chair
arsenic is your kiss
you, like poison, move me +
set me ablaze
like a witchburning
like a telephone call
like a melting of steel

i need you like a bullet
shot through my skull
splattering my intelligence
all over the wall behind me
like a firing squad
like an assassination
like a robbery

i need you like cancer
eating away at my organs
your love fills me with
a sense of being
a sense of life
a sense of gain

i need you like the gallows
my feet dangling off of you
reflecting off of the eyes
of awestruck children

you fill me with the insatiable urge
to become a violent storm
roaring with the energy of love
pulling strings
pushing doors
passing out
