Someone forgot the pearl necklace today
I remember seeing a red and white skirt
the sound of the wind was strong
a floral set of earrings
As the camera rolled
a pause stood in the air
there wasn't a single cloud in the sky
the black blouse was transparent
the red on the mustang
reflected your sunshine face.

How are you willing to give yourself to me?
I can’t seem to get close
limbs frozen solid
Im terrified to be so open

But you’re so warm
Melt me
Arms wrap and scorch my waist
******* lips
Im still so terrified.

I think my lungs are giving up

In
Out
In
Out

They’re tired.
I am tired.

I think I’m giving up.

Who gave you the right, little man,
To say slurs in the dark,
When the paper I write on,
Is the color of your hand.
