HELD

So this would be what separated,
Us, what would keep me,
Tasting my own skin,

For weeks, thirsting for what I knew,
Wasn't good for me . with the salt,
Of the air in your hair,

The sea was made to breathe
And I would hold it in my lungs
Until they collapsed, just to delay drowning

ON THE OUTSIDE

You're from another world,
And I'm trying to convince myself,
This is more than just another,
Discovery for you.

More than exploring your sexuality,
Because I'm not satisfied
Being inside your body.

If you won't let me inside your bed,
You're a creature of the equator,
So maybe it's in your nature.

To be cold so far from home,
Still I can't help but think,
You would warm to be the idea of me.
If you knew how often your mind
Was on me.
