Talk To Me

by The 3rd Element

on Rookie - The 4th Mini Album (2017)

When you talk to me
Talk to me with your words of hypnotism
Make your words my excite me
Talk to me like you have meticulously plotted your seduction
Talk to me like you've schemed your way to get with me

Like an engineer who set out his blueprint for the Statue of Liberty
Make me feel like you predicted all my reactions
Like you are playing chess with me, I wanna feel like all your pieces were set out to have me in check
Like you know how to have me cornered with just your words

You say you can read me like a book
Please have a conversation with me that makes you addicted to my attention
My pages are for you to read in every naked detail
Like an author reading to his aroused audience
I want you talk to me like you were excited to meet my expectations

As if my expectations were all you ever dreamed of
Like my expectations made you shy
Blushing at all my needs and wants
Stuttering when you want to initiate a conversation with my demands
Like my aspirations made you self-conscious of your own clothes and hair
Like my desire makes you mumble when you want to chat

I want my eyes to be read by you
As if you laid me to sleep
Like a child who is ecstatic at the stroke of story time
Like my dreams were all that you craved
Talk to me like I'm your all-time favourite author
Like I'm the one you've paid all this attention to
Like you have obsessed me in great detail
Like my name is etched in your mind & soul

Talk to me like you have known me
Like a therapist whose ears were opened to my childhood
Like your thighs were my couch
Like your body was my counselling sessions
As if your chest were pillows that I could cry on
As if your fingers wrote down notes on my back
As if your shoulders would silence out all my self-hatred

If you do,
I will always talk to you as if your secrets are valuable
Like your secrets are the scrolls that many men would kill for
Like your secrets are so dangerous that even your family would plot my murder
Like your secrets are too powerful for anyone else to know
Because you value my words and trust me with your body and mind

I will hide your secrets like I am your shame
Your skin shivers at my touch
My fingertips leave you feeling shrivelled like wet paper
You feel nauseating when I am next to you
You vomit at the thought of me treating you like a queen
My loyalty leaves a taste as sweet as bile in your mouth
My love has you despising me
You are disgusted at looking at my eyes
So I will hide your secret

But please talk to me like you need me
Talk to me like I am the food of your starved soul
Talk to me like I am water that is still
Talk to me like I am the option for your survival
Because you are all I have as my reason to live

You are all I have as my reason to love
