A Virus You Have to Sweat Out

If you wanna leave me

then you must be smart.

 

You must know

I pick fights with my lips when I kiss

That there's barbed wire at the end of my tongue

That I get into your spine when you sleep

and stay in your lungs after you breathe me in.

 

If you wanna leave me,

it's because you're a little scared to **** me

because you're afraid I won't like it

And what will happen if I actually do.

 

Like,

maybe I shouldn't kiss this girl

because I'll either break her

or catch something.

 

You must know my eyes will close up your throat.

So, baby,

let me make you bedridden

 

Or you can go.
