My Immortal Love

Hilary Uhl 1985 (Philadelphia, PA)

Ode


My skin craves your touch
I scratch it raw
I would rend the flesh from my bone
Before I would forget you
My immortal love
Exposing blood and bone
I wait for you
In the dirt I'll be
Waiting patiently

    This poem is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't need the fancy words I want the feeling and that's all. Great job keeping up.
