I let him

I am breathing him in like he is my air now,

I am feeling this boy in the spaces between my fingers, ribs.

I am holding onto him with my mortal hands and I watch him slip through.

He touches me like I might break with his kiss,

He crawls inside of me and sits in my rib cage because he is a wild thing.

He tears me apart (I let him) and carefully pieces me back together so I fit better against him (I let him).

He is falling, and he is pulling me down with him.

And I let him.
