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
