what are we thinking?

as i sit on the floor,
neck twisted for a birds
eye view of that graphic box.

am i lonely?
(only for you.)

maybe i don't know what
i want.

but as my tailbone aches and my eyes grow heavy, i hear the breaths of a sleeping boy.

(if you don't want me,
then why do you look at me that way?)

i can feel it. you could cut the connection with a knife.

but i drop my weapon.
i pray for your
personal denial.

(drop your walls so i can kiss you already!)

my lips are yours, just say the word.

-kids feel things too,
even if they say they don't.
