Skin to Skin

I want that skin to skin Hands wrapped around him Under his shirt Hug love making Tongue and lips verb vibrating I want someone who I can stare into their eyes Get lost, become entranced by emotions someone feels for me Continuously jolting my heart With our exchange of electricity I want to be electrified by your touch I want sparks I need flames this I know as much I'm tired of being cold with only words to keep me company and console I dream of Warm reassuring hands on my shoulders when I am anxious and overwhelmed Or little Thoughtful gestures of acknowledgment Of the love between two souls Hopeless romantic This is something I don't often tell I look solid. Strong enough, alone. Solid, a boys girl this much I've grown to know I appear to be able to light my own fires to keep myself warm Pat myself on my back And just keep moving forward And you all say She always finds a way Yeah, because no one does that for you This I learned the hard way over time I just can't get it right I stopped searching for someone else's light But nothing came Nothing but cold nights And that kind of diminished my light Searching or waiting for love, I never could keep So, I have been just focusing on me They said that might help But I've been focusing on myself For as long as I can remember and hell Prince charming could just have well ridden right past me and off this delusional hill, and I was probably so busy focused on focusing on myself Oh well I'm tired of waiting for someone to break this lonely spell I want to melt into someone's arms Not shrink inside myself I am all I have This is a lonely thought as well I feel like I dubbed myself The knight and shining armor of my own hell Chasing after a magical creature to kiss and break this spell
