listen to me, dear.
please cover your eyes
and cover your ears.

i want you to see me, dear
with your being;
not your eyes so clear.

a fool is what lust makes.
strain this sensation
until your heart aches.

sense me, darling
my body next to yours—
a stone carving.

my god, your eyes,
your beating heart,
your warmth like the sunrise.

inhale me as I approach you.
let me sit inside your lungs
and breathe me out anew.

I want to say something like
"how lovely", "how fascinating"
or "kiss me whenever"

but it's most efficient
to summarize my feelings as
"I enjoy you as much as myself"

may i ask you a question?
what do you think of the phrase
"I need you"?

is it silly of a narcissist
to care about someone
more than themselves?

maybe if we hold hands,
I won't feel inconspicuous
and oddly lonely.

let's look at each other
until I think only of you
and nothing of me.

so listen to me, dear.
please cover your eyes
and cover your ears.

I'll be sure to tell you
what I tell myself;
only what we want to hear.
