Haunted

She came to him in darkness
Crept in beside him
And melted her body into his
Unseen and unheard
He took her with a passion
So raw it terrified him
Drank in her taste, her touch
Demented with a longing for her
He clawed at her very skin
She left him so suddenly
He wondered if he had imagined taking her apart

Or was his grief a maddening cry for help
