the first cause

the first cause is mine
always mine		and yours
the press of loneliness
the play of silence and time
a new world of my creation	and i want more
	i want you
	and you
	and you
the pain isn’t all mine	and you	don’t want me
all mine
but the press of blame
the play of consequence and rhyme
is the make of my creation	and i hunger
	for you
	for you
	for you
the first cause is mine	for you	moving on
always mine
the twist of love and grief together
a genetic tango, a figurative crime
to a prison of my creation	the chance to devour you
	devour you
	devour you
	devour you
	devour you	entirely
	to consume you	and
the first cause is mine	destroy you	until
always mine		neither of us remains
a dangerous need, a bloodthirst for love		nothing but love
the play of fantasy and time	but time	has let me go
	a lonely vandal	of the human heart
	lost in a desert
	where you are naught
	but an oasis
an illusion of my own creation	and I need to turn away
