let me tell you
the stories
that cradle
my mind
at midnight
when i can't seem
to forget
the little things
you've done.
let me show you
what it's like
to be explored
by fingertips
that beg
to scout
every inch
of your being,
to have every wound
laced up
by fingertips
that would rather
tear their own skin
to fix yours
than watch
you bleed.
let me show you
what it's like
to break a mind
so anxious
to trust,
yet so easy
to give.
let me love you
so unconditionally
you forget
how to form words
after kissing
my numb lips
filled with
the pride
of having you;
let me love you
so unconditionally
you no longer remember
what it's like
to hate yourself,
because all you know
is my words,
etched into
the walls
of your brain;
let me love you
so unconditionally
you begin
to see beauty
in the world around you,
like my face
could be drawn
in the beds
of flowers;
let me love you
so unconditionally
you seem to forget
not to love me back.
