Is it your body I crave,
Or do I just need something sweet?
The answer’s not too clear.
Yet, I am quite certain –
I’m fucking starving whenever you’re near.

Nice one, Suzanne. I like the way the uncertainty at the outset transforms into concrete certainty by the end. It’s a different kind of writing than I’m used to from you but I really like the raw emotion and hunger 🙂
