biochemistry major (double major) with 190 hours of credits 

take your hair down and stop talking

perfect nailbeds and long fingers 

fluent in electrons 

run your hands over me instead 

i beg you 

run your hands over me instead 

and maybe if you whisper 

i might close my eyes 

tell me, how many papers have you graded 

when you'd rather be touching me 

17 and so so stupid 

i'll tell you the things you want to hear 

explain to me the way the world works 

and i'll pretend to listen.
