sonnet xvii from wounded / wolf by Bella Stevens

I keep my love in a secret frame
between my soul and the dark
my heart conjures upon your name
and my brain forces me to depart

I woke up on the right side of bed
when I saw you in a dream last night
neglect my hunger, my brain's well fed
from the touch I felt inside my mind

I wanna feel something
God, give me anything
I wanna drink your eyes
you set my flesh on fire

you're the first thing I see at night
the closing shot of the scene
and I'd repent a million times
but never regret how we meet

I wonder if an angel watched over
as our bones crashed and collided
and shut his eyes as you inched closer
away from the grace he guided

but I don't care, I don't care
god I don't care 'cause

I wanna feel something
God, give me anything
I wanna drink your eyes
you set my flesh on fire

and the sky ignites
I see my name in the lights
I'm afraid of seeming dire
but you set my flesh on fire
