I’m sorry you were the result of seduction I’m really very good at it and I used you 7 years my senior and supremely illegal you were hesitant to kiss me
Because you've been to jail enough and didn't want to see a cell again
but I still unbuttoned your shirt and traced the tattoos on your chest and all the way down your arm spilling out onto your hand
and I still love the way it felt to sleep naked in your bed and have your window half open and hear the rain pouring down as you packed yet another **** hit at 2 am
and we always started movies we never got more than 30 minutes into because of the way my fingers tested your willpower
and one night we were watching pulp fiction and I still cant remember a solitary scene and im sorry
and one night I came over and you handed me a Marlboro Red and a cold 40 and asked me what my drug of choice was
and we taked about how the acid in your spine is resting for the next 7 years
and your pupils were dilated so much so I could not see your pretty irises and I guess what I’m saying is
I love your 24 year old self and how you made me pizza and let me wear your favorite shirt (and that’s it) around your house
and im sorry I always left you in bed when you tried to pull me closer into you I should have just stayed
and you would always say “my pillow smells like you, come back. I miss you”
and I stopped dropping by your house in January and I stopped talking to you
but sometimes at night I dream of the ink on your skin and how you got hit by a bus and how you called yourself the antichrist and how the last four digits of your cellphone number are 7666
and how we ****** so hard I would pull the sheets off of your bed and how you always kissed me in the small of my back and the curve of my shoulders and
