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.
