warm embrace is all I want
for now, but
I’d kiss your lips
if you’d let me.
and while our tongues tangle
I’d **** the air out of your lungs
until you,
shriveled and blue,
had no choice but to stay.
I’d hold your hand
if I could.
I would squeeze until your fingers broke
and
when you ask me why
I’ll lie and tell you my heart isn’t broken
unlike the hand that holds it
