I'll make you breakfast for dinner
I'll kiss your lips when you walk
through the door
I'll hang our photos on the walls
so neither of us are ever alone
I'll wake you up when your alarm doesn't
I'll dance around the kitchen in your boxers
laughing and singing
I'll plant a blackberry bush in our garden
I'll love you
I will

It gives me goosebumps
when you bite my neck
and pull my hair
I fight myself
attempting to keep
my breathing soft
and to keep you
pressed against
my fingertips

I tell myself
take it slow

3:47 a.m. I inhale
The curling cannabis sinking
deep into my lungs
funny how the taste
reminds me of the softness of
your lips

You tell me
"this one's different"
but baby
I've been sipping death
for years and
you've kissed me twice

Tell me again how this is different
because
oh how I want it to be
but **** how it isn't

I want to buy a ***, a cute little flower ***
And paint it with beautiful blues and violets,
Cover it with deep reds and soft yellows.
Place a cactus in the loose soil careful of
The roots, and then, I'll name it after you;
Because you're a ******* *****.
