Animal Attraction

Goddamn animal attraction

You got me again

You baited your cage

With bated breath

I waltzed right in

Now I can't forget

Though I try to

A veil of unwashed hair

It silhouettes your cheeks

The brine of summer sweat

It's buried in our sheets

Barefoot pirouettes

On the carpet

Make me weak

'Cause I'm a fool

Goddamn animal attraction

What good are you

You bind me to all the little things I can't forget

Freckles painted on a shoulder blade

A constellation on the palest lake of skin

Feral eyes so wild

They'd move a mountain or a man

A weaker man

Goddamn animal attraction

You got me again

You sucker-punched me

And you pulled me in

You cut off my head

Now I can't forget

Though I try to

Bit my arm and it left a mark

Rough exteriors

They crumble hard

A marionette on the lam

Goddamn animal attraction

What good are you

You bind me to all the little things

You tie me to all the little things

You bind me to all the little things

You tie me to all the little things

You bind me to all the little things

You tie me to all the little things

You bind me to all the little things

You tie me to all the little things

You bind me to all the little things

I can't forget
