dear Little Thing nestled between two hearts mine and his Little Leech latched on tight in a valiant effort to exist a white stick told me You weren’t here but Dearest I can’t help but wonder after three more weeks if I’ve been lied to again dear Little Thing I don’t believe in bibles or gods of any sort but I pray every night because I hope You aren’t here hope the thought of You is nothing but the thought of an imaginary fear hope that You’re still caught somewhere between the sharp smell of this winter air and lullaby and the desperate fantasy of a happy pair who dreams of Your coming and awaits You with delight and open arms dear Little Thing, if You can hear me… my arms are strong but not enough for both of us ____ dearest Little Thing, if You exist somewhere cocooned between heartbeats and ribcage bones and the magnetism pulling two bodies together please Dearest please know I love You more than anything else already but I love You enough to know I cannot give you what you need I love You enough to know You’re better off anywhere but here please dear Little Thing, please find some way to disappear and reemerge inside someone who could want You more than me

Little Thing
dear Little Thing nestled between two hearts mine and his Little Leech latched on tight in a valiant effort to exist a white stick told me You weren’t here but Dearest I can’t help but wonder after three more weeks if I’ve been lied to again dear Little Thing I don’t believe in bibles or gods of any sort but I pray every night because I hope You aren’t here hope the thought of You is nothing but the thought of an imaginary fear hope that You’re still caught somewhere between the sharp smell of this winter air and lullaby and the desperate fantasy of a happy pair who dreams of Your coming and awaits You with delight and open arms dear Little Thing, if You can hear me… my arms are strong but not enough for both of us ____ dearest Little Thing, if You exist somewhere cocooned between heartbeats and ribcage bones and the magnetism pulling two bodies together please Dearest please know I love You more than anything else already but I love You enough to know I cannot give you what you need I love You enough to know You’re better off anywhere but here please dear Little Thing, please find some way to disappear and reemerge inside someone who could want You more than me
