Exposed and vulnerable
Yet you didn't move
You hardly breathed
God, you're arresting
I shifted, unsure
It means beautiful
A kiss on my jutting hip bone
Stunning
Another on the scar below my ribs
Breathtaking
Turned, but not too roughly
A trail down my lacerated spine
*Mine

Kiss away the pressure residing in my lungs

Would it be impulsive to stick my hand into the flame and let your fire consume me?

Turn a boy into a man,
lemme me show you the things
you don't understand...

I have been encompassed by the warmth of your existence

You've made a home in the space between my ribs

My fingertips taste like the skin across your shaking shoulders
