i want
to feel
your fingertips
trace my skin
to savor
the taste
of your lips
to feel
the warmth of
your breath
on my neck
your hands
caressing my body
to be
entangled with you
in satin sheets
blissfully exhausted
i chose lust as a subject for this poem, something i have never wrote about
lily Apr 2018
thoughts, thoughts
running through my head

thoughts, thoughts
as i lay in bed

thoughts, thoughts
at 12 AM

thoughts, thoughts
at 4 AM

thoughts, thoughts
won't go away

because thoughts, thoughts
are here to stay
lily Apr 2018
it seemed as if
my thoughts
became possessed
and i could no longer
think
of anything else
but you
-
and i don't know how
or why
but
suddenly
i found myself
swiftly descending
-
falling
and
falling
and
falling
and
falling
-
until i gracefully fell
-
into a magical place
called
love
-
and in love,
i fell with you
lily Apr 2018
and then i knew
from our first conversation
i would fall for you

dear mom, dear dad
let me tell you
what you do not know
you do not know that i had a self-esteem
that did not even exist
you do not know that
i have been depressed
you do not know that when i was 12 years old
i cut myself on my
wrist
and
thigh
you do not know that i have
threw up my food because i have hated the way i looked
you do not know
that i have cried myself to sleep at night
you do not know that i have felt
worthless
useless
unloved
not good enough
why?
because
of
you
because of your
words
and what's sad
is that if i told you
you would hurt me even more
because you would
not understand
my personal experiences - my story

skyler
pull you close
grab my waist
rest my hands
on your face
kiss you slow
close embrace
lift me up
wearing lace
hands will drift
press and trace
melting with
the sweet taste
love on lips
time to waste
you and i
in this place
