Formidable Desire

By Temerity

Tell me what you're searching for as you look into my eyes.

Do you see me as I really am? Or just an old disguise?

I kneel & cut myself for you so you can watch me bleed,

But does it really satisfy your insatiable need?

Lift me up and hold me, I am small in your hand.

Whisper all the darkest desires of a man.

Pronate, educate, mold me to your will

Trembling in your aftermath, I am standing still.

Show me your omniscience, all that I should fear.

You are my desire, ...I am still right here.____

    Thank you ShardsofSilence, and I agree that it is limited. This one was far too personal in its origins, and I never completed it. I submitted it to determine if it was worth a finish. ;)

    If it still holds great potential, I believe it is definitely worth a finish :)

    I half like and half dislike the rhyme. Like because it makes reading it easy, dislike because it seems to limit your words; I felt there could be more to add to this...but it's a good write nonetheless.
