So, there was this time we were lying
on your bed, you looked at me like forever
and I sighed in contentment as you pulled me
closer. "You know, I can't climb into your body."
You laughed, "Why not?"
I burrowed
you squeezed harder.
The next day, I went out
for my morning smoke, I looked
back and smiled as I sauntered through the door, laughing
at my ridiculousness,
you gave me the same look
you always do.
Should have been the first clue,
you wanted to tame
my wild.
God as a guise, you tried
to mold me into your version
of myself, hoping
you'd be able to love me
enough.
While you were holed up
peering down at the cells
running around your petri dish,
you missed the lesson about
letting wild things
be free.
Well, I'm jumping out
and if you think I will die then,
honey,
let it be where
I am free.
