i-iii-i
i-i-iii can't
let me catch my breath
and get back to you
she whispered a secret into my hair
ruffled it like she does
my skin burned beneath her touch
ccc-c-can you not?
sshhhh she said
it's okay
no it's not
if i could only say the words
sss--sst--
what was that, honey?
ss--ssto
you're a snake?
no
stop.
