I Am A Violent Man

Oh, we scratch
I bite, you claw
The most arresting violence I have ever known
Takes place between these sheets of ours
As you growl
As I lash out
A stream of fire
I am a violent man, tonight
I am consumed by love
And lust
By love and lust for you...

Hair is pulled
Skin gets grazed
As we beat against the wall
As this takes place between us
You murmur, drunk
Senses heightened and alive
As I spit out
A shower of crackling sparks
Oh!
I am a violent man, tonight
I am birthed again
In love and in lust
For you
In love and lust for you...
