- I want your fuel
I want your fuel. I want it all and I want it from you and him and him and them and especially you. I want him from the moment he wakes up to the moment he hugs me to sleep. I want it to flow over me, strong and abundant, to flow from you.
I want your fuel of positivity, joy, adoration, love, passion, and praise. I want to fuel your negativity, hate, anger, tears, and fear.
Pour it over me, dousing me in that refreshing, invigorating, and sustaining fuel. There is never enough and I want to keep experiencing the increase because your fuel fuels the flame inside me, burning and smoldering, strengthening me as I make my way through everything I do. I want your fuel now, tomorrow, and always.

- I want to swallow you
I am a giant, a giant, a prince among men, a giant who moves easily and purposefully around the earth. I want to involve you in me, making sure to leave no trace of you as I fully embed you into who I am.
I want my tendrils to reach you, feeling their way to the fuel vapors you emit, as their exploratory senses track you. I want them to wrap you around and draw you towards me, and bind you to me so that I can firmly subscribe to my world and my false reality.
I want you to be connected, connected, knitted, pinned and embedded little by little I consume you and surround you with my greatness. You will not resist the exhilaration and joy that you experience because this process is irresistible. I want to possess you, I want you to become a part of me, and I want there to be no beginning for you and no end for me.

I don’t care that I exaggerated them or plagiarized them from others I interacted with, stripping away aspects of their personality to add to my own. I don’t care so all I care about is that I’m the person my head turns toward when I enter the room.
I clap. I want to be the one who leads, wins, and strikes. Destroyer of worlds, creator of new worlds, god. I want to be the person whose strength radiates from so that it is tangible to everyone who looks at me. I want to be the one who shocks and amazes me. I want to be the one who does
I want to be the one to rule, preside and dictate. I want to be the person you rely on, turn to, and be devoted to, too. I want to be the person who gets credit for all the successes, and I want to be the person who represents your Alpha and Omega, your first thought and your last thought. I want to be the one whose name you speak with your dying breath.

- I want your essence
I am a thief of souls, a charlatan who comes up with sugar-coated promises and offers you the world in exchange for your essence. You never realize this is the cost of this bargain, but I want to suck the essence out of you, hollow you out, and consume it for myself.
I want to leave you with a cracked, dry shell. I want your essence to fill the void that lives inside of me. I want this sweet, subtle essence to flow through me, relieving pain, calming frantic madness, and bringing comfort and relief.
Like a purifying river, I want your essence to flow through me, washing away the sickness that surrounds me. I want your essence to wipe away dirt, remove smears, and remove stains. I know I flirt with all kinds of dirt, but your essence will save me from this temptation. This is why I want him.
- I want it to stop
