Irreplaceable

 

My body is one of experience 

While I have known much

And many

I am not one you will forget easily

Despite how much you will beg to

Nearly as much

As you ache for me 

I may not be 

The most beautiful woman in the world

By societal standards

But no amount of editing or photoshop

Could ever convince you

That another would feel 

Anywhere close 

To the divine that I possess 

You will feel as though

You are drowning in the vastness 

Of pleasure that I embody 

But how will you learn to swim

If you don’t sink a little first

You are going to drink in so much of me

That you will forget what air tastes like

And you will also cease to remember 

That you were anything 

But mine 

It seems like something to desire 

Until my name 

Is the one on your tongue

As the spirit of the flesh overtakes you 

And my face is the one you see

No matter how hard you close your eyes

I will own each corner of your mind

I will reign over your soul

Claiming power over your release 

Marking you as the one

I command dominion of

And you will try to forget me 

You will try to overwrite my name

With that of others 

You will try to erase my touch

With the hands of many

And you will try to drown out my voice 

In the decibels of lungs not mine

I wish you luck in this endeavor 

With a smirk and a laugh

For you will never succeed

You will spend the rest of your days

Searching for me

In the skin of everyone else you meet

Your need for my touch 

Overwhelming 

Until you break 

And give in 

Settling 

For anything 

Because once you lose me

You lose me forever

So I will make sure 

The bitterness of regret 

Will fill your mouth until the end of days

Instead of the sweetness I leave behind
