I have these piercings
Three of them actually
They're in my cartilage
Just a few months old
Pretty fresh really

They still hurt
Well
They hurt if I lay on them
So I don't
When I'm by myself

When you're here
I don't feel them
I only feel you
Your chest against my back
Your arm around my waist

And then I am alone
And sometimes
Just to remind myself what you do to me
I switch sides
And I know without you I hurt
