And when I remember the bruises on my childhood bedroom’s wall and remember you,

Loving you was an easy call

My body is too big for itself and my soul tries to crawl its way out through my mouth, so I bite my tongue and pretend I’m coughing

Everytime I close my eyes I see you. I hear you saying my name with your sweet voice, singing it like a lullaby, and I melt into the words, sleep on the soft and stretched vowels, I took a nap on your lisp.

.

.

I want to take a nap on the apple of your cheeks so I could stare at your eyes the first thing in the morning.

Wash my body with the pink soap 4 times, my hair 7, and I still itch with his foreign touch on my skin.

just so your tired mouth can kiss me every morning, I’d be a mug of coffee

I want to live, amplify my reason why

My sun, amber and gloss, your eyes shone like glass, your face read fragile in a big red font, I’ll handle with care

I swear by the dearest thing to me; the sunlight bursting out of you, droplets catching onto my face when you’re excited

Your warm words thaw my frozen bones
