Skin intact, until I met you
A heart to match, and then I let you

Shot through the sky with the force of a rocket
Always by your side, in your ear, or your pocket

You reached for my hand, but instead grabbed my soul
With each day that passed, you tightened your hold

Never thought I would love you, never thought I would blush
Never thought I'd lose you, and it'd hurt me this much

What any man was, my Ivory God was much more
You made me your Babygirl, Goddess and Whore

If we're wrong I don't care, I'm not asking who's right
I just long for you here, in the morning, and night

More than three sixty five of the days that we've spent
With four matching shoes, all made of cement

Our days into nights, never better or wrong
We'd win every fight, together and strong

The good you made better, and the great, wonderful
No one ever made me feel so safe, yet vulnerable

You did the job of three men, as I used to say
No man has topped that, even to this day

Holding so tight, til you said, let us go
How long can we do this, and how will we know?

Can I win this spar? Let's see while I check
But I won't get far, with your teeth on my neck

Your growl never ending, your prey never more
Your howl unbefriending, but God, I want more

Your kiss is like wine, come intoxicate me
Your body on mine, to make two of us, three

We'd watch him grow strong like the root of a tree
With blond hair like you, and brown skin like me

And then came the space that I rue to this day
Words in haste and untruth, somehow got in the way

So we both bent down to unbreak a shoe
That's not what I wanted, I admit it, did you?

If two are now broken, there could never be three
I feel like I'm choking, and how could that be?

Words blight in our song, since you've been away
I want to cry, but I'm strong, since you made me that way

My voice is now faint, but I know that you hear
A room full of exits, yet, you are still near

I put feelings to sleep, though they might resurrect
I can't caress you, just the bite that you left

As I reminisce, I reach for you in my sleep
Every kiss I ever gave you, is still yours to keep

You said that my heart shined a light on you
And now that it's dark, I'm reminded that's true

If you can't be my lover, then I won't be your friend
But before you leave, please...bite me again
