Pins and Needles

It's like when your foot falls asleep
And then the blood pumps in and feeling returns
Like knives stabbing the flesh
I get distracted
But my need never dulls
I felt You rushing back in
The heat returning
After days of distance and reserve
You were claws and teeth
Hunting me in each room
I tried to stay one step ahead
Turning and closing doors behind me
Brain impatient to get to the the day's tasks
While my heart and body reached back
Wanting to be caught
My reward for a job well begun?
You in my bed
At the end of the night
Rubbing the ache from my skin
