bottles on my bookshelf
you havemade yourself
a permanent and dusty
home. i used to hate the
smell of my skin and
the shape of my mouth
butyouhaveneverlooked
at me like i am anything
less than a human being,
anything less than gold,
anything less than god.
i have been yours since
we were fifteen, i have
been yours since we
w e r e f i f t e e n.
i should have stopped searching
for someone a long time ago.
