Does he love me like I love him?
Alliteration storms about testing my tongue tightly in the morning strangling for my breath to caress my lips and stretch across to reach you I want to hold you, I want to breathe all of you
Into me when I wake up next to you
Outward I extend my hand
The air around us zaps my mouth shut
My heart skips and twirls and beats and leaps
Farther than its ever before
Crashing and gasping and rationalizing I am,
To get to your inner depths full of feeling
I want to know if you feel like me
Feeling feels that fail to reveal how we're feeling
Dancing around the truth is where I am
Stage after stage, hidden layer after layer
Digging deep into a drugged state
Where I no longer remember my name
I'm not the one that you needed before
But I'm the one you need now
Dressed in red I find you
Tearing your soul apart and restitching with mine
Now we can be happy
Now is when it's ok to stop breathing
An intake of dirty words stuttered here and there
that can be evaded without so much as a stare
We only have time for you and me
Our cheeks sweep together and greet
Finding its familiar hold, in between me
I snatch you up because you belong only to me
My heart longs for you
It's shrinking and shrinking without you
To nourish it and swell under your touch
Without you I feel so alone
Sober and afraid
I need your fulfillment
Sinking into me I grow
My heart breaking off of my sleeve and touching my toes
I yawn and sleepily pull myself to you
when I'm asleep i crave you the most
Nestled up by your chest
Is the place where my love is constantly put to the test
