I have to practice saying the word,
"Boyfriend"
In front of a mirror,
Because it feels so foreign coming off my lips.
Never have I ever wished to be someone else's, as much as I wish you to be mine
Humans are not property, and my want for you is so beyond the material;
I can feel it when I inhale your hoodie,
When you smile hello,
When your laugh reaches my ears
I want to kiss away every bad thing that's ever happened to you,
I want you to hold me until I feel whole again.
When I try to sleep at night,
You run through my head like silent films,
So I roll it around me and zip you up like your sweater,
Only then can I close my tired eyes.
Every day I pray for Friday,
Because the days mean nothing if I can't spend them with you,
And they are worth their weight in circuit board gold.
You told me,
That I didn't have to be gentle with your broken body,
Because you wanted to hold me, and taste me, and know me;
So my love,
Let me breathe you in,
And exhale my life story onto the tips of your fingers,
So when we hold hands,
Our lives will intertwine.
I've got it grade 6 bad for you,
Its elementary my doll,
So open up your chest,
And show me what's inside.
