Queer Poems

Safe

There's a weight pressing against my chest

I know its you

I can feel the outline of your palms

The gentle pads of your fingers

They've never touched my skin

But somehow i know

I know they're soft

I know they're gentle

I know they'll never belong to me again

Time keeps moving

So fast

I don't know how its doing it

I'm still stuck

A place where you could love me

I could hold your hand

Where is that place?

I used to see it so clearly

Now all i see is dark clouds

All i hear is the soft tapping of rain

Outside my window

In the dark daylight

Where have you gone

I cant hear you

Your voice is dead silent

If you ever return

Ill probably still be here

Lying in wait

Ill see you

Ill smile and wave

Like a small toy on the front of your moms car

Ill wave and wave and wave

Your arms will be around me

And finally ill feel safe
