cutlery drawer

at the risk of being weird

I want to ask you to **** me

Even though it is only 5am.

6am comes…and I do not

And you are still asleep

And I would like to be

If my ****** wasn’t aching like an empty stomach

throbbing like a sore tooth.

Spooning is sweet but I want go get out of the cutlery drawer.

It is 7:28 and you have rolled away from me

And I can’t help but wonder if having

Me in your bed is no more than a child holding a bear in his sleep.

But stuffed bears can’t feel insecurity.

The women of your past have been beautiful and immaculate

(I saw the **** picture one sent you before we went to sleep--

instagram filters can't even make me look that good)

like

stone Venuses, lovely despite the fact that they were made from **** foam.

And I am neither immaculate or made of stone

as you well know

since you have put your hand on my stomach so many times.

And I do not want to be needy but I can’t help but think that

The reason you are away from me

asleep at 7:35

Is that the ghosts of these models that haunt you look nothing like me.
