Molly’s Diary: Unyielding
Unyielding.
Relentless.
A tightness in my chest.
The feeling of a hand, reaching into my throat, and tugging at my guts with the undeniability of a runaway tractor-trailer barreling down a long, straight grade or a jackhammer cutting through steaming pavement right outside my window
Is it possible to want so deeply, to need so much? Is it survivable, this degree of longing?
I catch myself holding my breath, wanting the world, needing to be filled, waiting to be pushed beyond limits I thought were impassible, to be opened wider than I imagined possible.
Dangerous for the person who would dare respond, fill, push, open. Once opened, I will not be denied. My desire will not be contained. My actions will not be disciplined.
I will take. I will consume. I will engulf.
Burning up, flooding out, an unavoidable and mutually assured annihilation.
And then, in the space between gasping breaths and silence, a moment of oblivion and rest.
But only a moment, and then desire starts to seep back in, consciousness awakening to the building tide of want and need.
Unyielding.
Relentless.
Oh my, Molly.
I’m not sure I dare even post a comment.
Well, I’ve never been known as timid, have I?
Both. Frackin’. Feet.
Swallow me whole.

Timid? You? Not a chance! You would walk into the den of a bear just as it was waking from hibernation if there was something in there you wanted badly enough.
In fact, I think that’s just what you’ve done.
Waking hungry,
Molly

You really did wake hungry, didn’t you?
Kisses,

Ravenous. Ravenous and propelled much more by instinct than by reason.

I think I like the sound of that.
Yes. Yes, I very much do.
Kisses,
