Recently, I've started to wash
my sheets less often
and maybe its because the nights
have gotten cooler
and less sweaty
but also,
I think I'm getting attached
to the way my bed smells like you
I have the blues again and you asked
if you could **** them out
through my mouth
but I like you too much to let you taste them
and I'm ******* tired of being tired all the time
but I've never been
more motivated to keep breathing
than with you sleeping beside me,
just close enough that your fingers
brush my stomach
when it expands with air
and your breath
in mine, weaving simple harmonies
and I don't need you,
because I would never let myself
depend on a garden I can't water alone
but the flowers you planted
in my eyelids
are so ******* beautiful
and I'd really like to see the world the way you do.
I can't quite describe the scent
but
it makes this little
concrete room
feel almost like a place
I could call home
