Everything I Need You To Know

Hold me

under the soft light

in the odd quiet of a big city.

Kiss me

slow like it might burn me

but the kind where it hurts good.

Promise

that the monsters

in my closet

are dead.

We can’t pretend

that this isn’t

what it is.

Breathe me in.

Skin to skin,

you’re like the air in my lungs

so don’t go.

Call me on your drive back home.

If the atmosphere

doesn’t give out on us,

then I hope we get to do this forever.

But if the sky ends up falling,

I want you to know

that you’ll be the one thing

I think of.

Dancing on the edge of

broken glass,

bloody feet,

aches and pain,

pushing through tears

like fighting demons in your head

on a bad day,

tip toe like a child doing ballet,

don’t lose your balance,

but I’ll follow you anyway.

Crack a joke

and steal my heart,

I beg of thee.

Kiss me again, pretty please.

The look in your eyes is like whiskey.

You’re my ultimate daydream.

We’ve tried this three times

and I think if the fourth doesn’t work out

it might kill me.

Last, but not least,

you have every single piece of me.
