Healing

I’m restless with feelings I can’t keep—
with dreams that won’t let me sleep.
I need your kind of healing.
Come and save me from all I’m feeling.

My mind won’t stop reelin’.
It makes me feel like screamin’.
Clear this menace from my head,
in the safety of our bed. 

Help me heal the repercussions of trauma.
I know, I know. I’m too much drama,
but you know the places I’ve been.
I believe you can wash away their sins.

Run your tongue across my skin,
and grip my hips without chagrin.
Send shivers from my spine to my thighs,
and watch these demons pour out my eyes.

I’ll kiss naive lies off your honest lips,
and write you a better script.
I can make a believer out of you—
close your eyes and trust love is true.

If you save me from insanity,
I can save you from reality.
In the redemption of this erotic mess
the righteous must learn to transgress.

I’ll heal you while you heal me.
I imagine this is how atoning should be.
Beyond the allure of seductive poetry—
it’s the story of my savior and me.

I’m restless with feelings I can’t keep—
with dreams that won’t let me sleep.
Once more, I need your kind of healing.
Come and save me from all I’m feeling.
