i feel you under my skin
not like a bug, no, but like
a warmth spreading up my
arms toward my ears
is my face red
can you see how deeply you
are a part of me
do you feel me in your hands
or running down the length of
your neck? i wanted to live
there at one point. god, i
still do, if we're both being
honest here. i don't think i
will ever do anything to rid
myself of you.
