e:)

the outline of your back sears the inside of my brain

i’ve never understood religion

i worry i may never see you again

i worry that our days will wither away

and “see you at home” will become “see you at christmas” and

i hate this room now but i loved spending time with you

and even now when i tell you “not right now” my future self pleads with me “yes right now. one day you will wish you had spent every day saying yes”

i’m still learning how to be a “no man” after being a “yes man” for too long

hold me closer

i want to jump into your skin

your kisses are a virtue

your gaze makes me sin

this love less demure

i’m colored by your touch

you’ve sought out my iniquity

and brought out the sun

we aren’t good together

but we’re the best we’re gonna have

you hold me at my lonesome

you kiss the lips you’ve damned

loneliness binds us

like an unbreakable vow

i’ll love you forever

they say that if a cat loves you enough, it will find you when it dies

frog and toad.
