the double helix

Your alien body goes well
with these alien hands
I don't know what's come over me
but it feels like
the end of the world
running through my veins
I hear myself speaking
but I don't know what I'm saying
I feel you trembling
and I want to put you
out of your misery
I pity you--
you got too close
and now you've fallen
into me, into a dark pit
I should have warned you
but I held my tongue
That aggravates you, doesn't it?
It makes you want to either
destroy me or claw your way inside me
to find the answers
Why do you want my abuse?
You could be much better off
all you have to do is walk away
My lust for you is so simple, so base
to break us apart
would be like unraveling the double helix
You know I will follow you
to slake my thirst from your tender flesh
You can stand up to anyone, anything
but you can't say no
to the murder on my breath
to the apocalypse in my eyes.
