dessie-hull-1 - Hello Poetry

You don’t have to say anything, we can lay on thick blankets covered in cigarette burns and stare at the paneling on the sagging walls. Kiss me as the dust collects on the picture frames and the wind carries away the steady glances we share. You look beautiful with that cigarette between your lips. You look beautiful in the color red.

All i can seem to recall of you is the exhaust and remains of every friday night we've spent together. I can remember wishing that those nights had lasted a little longer. I'm trying to forget, if not now, then tonight, and if not then, i might just give up for good, because god knows i cant take another day of you turning up in my thoughts uninvited.

I ghosted my name into your skin with the tips of my fingers and hoped that if you felt it enough it would never leave you. I was selfish, yes, but you made me so in loving me. I wanted all of you. Every laugh line, skin cell, atom, and every tear and tooth. I never wanted anything like i wanted to leave fingerprints on all the greatest parts of you, and in wanting this so terribly, i allowed you to leave fingerprints on mine.
