Under My Skin

i want to be enveloped
and swallowed whole
bugs crawl under my skin
they’re hungry for you
they nip at my nerves
insatiable for your voice
follow it they cry
they bleed green blood
raging in bitter spite
they don’t want to share

I get it...

Although it's been years since I was that passionate; [I'm more comfortable and settled now, having been married for over thirty years.] I still remember how it felt. I liked this and really don't find anything wrong with this one, except for all lower-case letters and no punctuation. Nice, ~ Geezer.
