listen to me, dear.
please cover your eyes
and cover your ears.
i want you to see me, dear
with your being;
not your eyes so clear.
a fool is what lust makes.
strain this sensation
until your heart aches.
sense me, darling
my body next to yours—
a stone carving.
my god, your eyes,
your beating heart,
your warmth like the sunrise.
inhale me as I approach you.
let me sit inside your lungs
and breathe me out anew.
I want to say something like
"how lovely", "how fascinating"
or "kiss me whenever"
but it's most efficient
to summarize my feelings as
"I enjoy you as much as myself"
may i ask you a question?
what do you think of the phrase
"I need you"?
is it silly of a narcissist
to care about someone
more than themselves?
maybe if we hold hands,
I won't feel inconspicuous
and oddly lonely.
let's look at each other
until I think only of you
and nothing of me.
so listen to me, dear.
please cover your eyes
and cover your ears.
I'll be sure to tell you
what I tell myself;
only what we want to hear.
