Hold me the way Arizonans hang to clouds during monsoons, The way bards capture moments into creation, The way wings catch air.
Run your fingers over the scars on my skin you never knew about, Don't ask, just feel.
Whisper sweet nothings into my ear, Make me believe in a better time than now. Show me that this is only the beginning to long nights spent in each other's breaths,
Breathe me.
Kiss the darkest corners of my mind, Take it all. Take the pillows, the mattress, The clothes,
I only want you.
Replace the noose around my neck With your arms, Tell me it'll be okay. Lie to me.
