Objectification
Look at me
I'm not wax. I'm still because I'm sad
And I want you to hold me.
Don't put a lighter by my legs
I'm not a candle that can melt
But I am stuck in place
'Cause I want you to hold me.
Look at me, those purple welts
Are there because I carved them
Into me, my flesh, not wax or dough.
My lips are lilac with infection.
All I want is for you to hold me.
Why do you think I'm wax?
Plastic doesn't melt as fast as me
Because I'm made of weakness
(Weakness and bad decisions)
And it's true I'm unresponsive
But your voice gives me goosebumps,
And goosebumps are real.
Surely? Surely you'd reply
If I told you I'd nearly died, wax can't die
Wax can't die or *****.
I'm waiting for a response because
Its 3:19 and I want you to hold me.
We love a hangover poem addressed to the guy who cares about me with around 45% of his available emotions
