D.E.S.I.R.E. (the poem)
You ever ache so good you crave the pain again?
Yeah, this one’s for the fools like me. The ones who want the fire even after the burn. The ones who spell out “desire” like a prayer, a curse, a shot of tequila whispered into a stranger’s ear.

This is D.E.S.I.R.E., but not the song.

This is the blackout poem you write in lipstick on the bathroom mirror after sex. This is the late-night voice note you never send…
I want the kind of kiss that comes with risk, not love, not lust, just a flick of the wrist, your hand on my throat saying, “You sure?” And me saying nothing, because silence is pure.
You call it toxic, I call it home, You left me cracked but I carved you in bone. I’ve sucked the ghost from your memory’s skin, Lit candles for shadows and called it a win.

I built a cathedral of moans and regret, Still kneel at the altar, still soaking wet. A body remembers what a mouth might deny. You never said love, but you whispered goodbye.
Your lies were silk and I wore them proud, Strutted through hell in your voice out loud. They all saw a flirt, a tease, a game, But you saw the boy still crying your name.

D.E.S.I.R.E., don’t ever say it’s really over. Don’t call it empty if it still pulls me closer. Even if your hands were fake on my spine, Even if forever was never mine.
F.I.R.E., fuck it, I’d still beg in Spanish, Dame mentira, let the truth vanish. I’ll take your sin in the form of a smile, Just stay for an hour, or maybe a while.

You made me want what I shouldn’t need, Made me bleed pretty, made heartbreak chic. And yeah, maybe I wrote a song for the pain, But this? This is the poem where I come insane.
I still dance with your ghost in my dreams, Still moan your name in whispered screams. I’m soft, I’m slutty, I’m cruel when I cry, I’ll call you a bastard then ask you why.

Why you left your scent in my sheets, Why your goodbye still tastes so sweet. I’m the boy who burns with every breath, But still sucks smoke like a kiss from death.
Desire isn’t red, it’s bruise-colored blue, It’s aching for someone who’s aching for you. And maybe this poem is messy and raw, But baby, that’s the point. That’s the law.

So call me dramatic, call me obsessed, But I’ll spell out your name in every breath. I’ll fuck like a prayer, I’ll cry like a song, Because love isn’t fake just because it went wrong.
I was always yours, in the way ruins belong, In the way that destruction still sings along. You were the lie I wanted to believe, And I still do, every time I breathe.

So love me, hate me, fuck me, spank me,
Just don’t erase me.
I swear to God,
don’t erase me…
