I Just Wanted You

I just wanted you to
Hold me
You asked
Why
I feel
Safe
Your touch is
Warm
And it was
It burned
Stinging
Red
Five-star symbol
Of comfort

I just wanted you to
Laugh
You asked
Why
Your laugh it
Echoes
Rings in
My ears
And it did
As my sides
Ached
Painful laughter

I just wanted you to
Kiss me
You asked
Why
Your taste is
Sweet
And it was
With salt
Sticky and red
Candy of fervor

I just wanted you to
Love me
You asked
Why
Your love is
Powerful
And it was
With passion
So much so
It hurt
