Desire

By Audrie Bretl Roelf

I want to be your dirty, little secret.
I want to be your biggest mistake
turned your greatest achievement.
I want to inspire you to reach new heights
while the world adores your bravado.
I want to be the one to tear you down
and resurrect something grander in place.
I want to be your safety,
your shelter,
your source of pleasure, 
your greatest pain.
