"The Space That Loves; the Space That Lusts" // Last Updated 27.July.2007

The space between my ears
That absorbs the shock waves
Enjoys the way you scream.
Louder, louder! it begs.
Will you give in to it?
It loves the way you submit—
The docile, loving way you give in
To me again and again.

The space inside my heart
That patiently awaits love
Enjoys the way you speak.
Softer, softer, it pleads.
Will you ignore it?
It loves you either way—
The strong yet gentle way you resist
Me again and again.

The space between my ears
That processes your words
Loves the way you love.
More, more! it begs.
Will you give it what it wants?
It enjoys the way you give—
The delicate, caring way you give
To me again and again.

The space inside my heart
That quietly admires you
Loves the way you look.
Here, here, it pleads.
Will you scorn it?
It loves you either way—
The soft yet hard way you love
Me again and again.
