I’m too far gone to hold anything against you
I want you pressed heavy on me
so that I may feel small in the best way
so that I may feel
someone is truly looking at me
and not through me

It’s you, again
Painting my nails in your room
Dark greens and reds
though you are pink and orange to me, sweeter than cookies and juice
Sweeter than Tetris sound effects
Sitting close and looking away from your eyes
wishing now that I hadn’t so I could see you again in my head
