Love, _________

Drawing symbols as I lay

Upside down

In your arms

We steamed the windows up

Through nails

Through pain

Through kissing

Through grabbing

For the one person who

Makes you feel alive

I'll start the music

You start the moment

I was pinned against that window

I had you pinned against the seat

Once more

Lips whisper me beautiful lies

That I believe

For lack of reason to fight against

I won't debate

When I can fight your lips

With mine

We only have that night

Savor the feeling of my skin

As it stretches across bones

Memorize the sound of my gasp

Because my fingers can't forget

Your collarbone

My ears hear your breathing

They take cues from the tempo

Of this outlawed dance

Like any true musician

Pick me up and play me

Your mouth against my neck

I want pain

But am satisfied with nips

Promising more

You kiss my cheek

Jaw

Temple

Forehead

You get to know my face

The one everyone calls beautiful

In such an intimate way

Give me your sweatshirt

So I can still be hugged by you

When you aren't here

I want your smell

To swarm me

Put your hands on my skin

Pull my shirt off

Explore under the boundary

Of what stays on

I fell in love with the smooth skin

Of your back

The way your spine ran

Underneath my fingertips

Your neck perfectly molded

For my petite hands

An arm around my waist

Or a hug the holds my shoulders tight

I want the ban lifted

I want to know what secrets

You have written on your skin

You've seen most of mine

But the secrets I want you to hear

Are locked

Behind my blue lips

To think a mere smile

Changed to fogged up windows

You're my cooking partner

Or maybe my partner in crime

Committing acts against the rules

Set before me

By mothers who care

He maybe 18

But he is in every way

The gentlemen I've needed

Lies flow nonstop from

My well tuned tongue

Just to get around and see him

I count the seconds to last block

For a single hug

A smile

A suggestive joke I will always miss

It's how we work

We are the perfect balance

Of good and bad

I'm the definition of a bad decision

You're the model student

But out of school

Where labels fall off

We are equals

You have years on me

But look in my eyes and tell me

You can't see the stories

Playing behind the green irises

Don't give up

You promised

Think of the day

I drew a heart

On a foggy window

To symbolism the couple beneath

Sharing the time together

You kissed my broken heart

Better
