I want to get to know
More than your flesh and sins
I want to cut your vessel
And glimpse inside your soul
Carefully trace your edges
As my lips are a knife
To break you from this tarnished mold

I want to know more
Of your heart and your core
To know what makes your heart beat
And know what makes it hurt
So when it is in pieces
I can pick up those that fall
And glue them with my aura
Cement them with love
Cure them with kisses
And dry it with my hugs

I want to get to know you
And all that you’re about
Know exactly when you’re about to smile
And learn to tell when you are mad
To know when you’re distress
So I can bring you peace
Know when you’re a wreck
Battling like a ship at sea

I want to know how to calm your waves
And bring tranquility
Kiss you on your forehead
Right before we sleep
I want to know
More than to bring you peace
More than to make you smile
I want to know how
To manifest my last name
Into ours
