Hi! Im new here! Poem about a maddening need to be merged with your lover, thoughts vary

Close
So close
Closer to you
To feel you like your own
To dissolve and melt into your ribs
To feel the heat coursing through your veins burn me alive
Into ashes that settle and fuse into every crevice
That the world has yet to see
This maddening desire
To be caged
Within your ribcage

Oh to feel your heart
Beating in me, through me
As mine
To look into your eyes in the mirror
To mould into your frame
Such small wishes that my own heart has lain
How would it feel?
To be so close that I'm not myself anymore
To recognise myself as you
Yours
To merge into you
To breath you
To be caged
Within your ribcage

Oh nothing satiates me anymore
Nothing but you
Your tender skin, the warmth it holds
You're addiction, my sole sin
Can u blame me for asking for more?
To become the warmth colouring you
My now favourite shade of red
From you ears, to your cheeks and down to your neck, your chest
To be the fallen eyelash
You would blow to make a wish upon
To be the words that sit on your lips
What a would that privilege be?
To finally be the ribs that cage me?
