i need someone
who knows struggle
as well as i do
someone
willing to hold my feet in their lap
on days it is too difficult to stand
the type of person who gives
exactly what i need
before i even know i need it
the type of lover who hears me
even when i do not speak
is the type of understanding
i demand
2.
it’s your voice
that undresses me
3.
how do you turn
a forest fire like me
so soft i turn into
running water
4.
i do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own
i want to be so complete
i could light a whole city
and then
i want to have you
cause the two of us combined
could set it on fire
5.
i am ready for you
i have always been ready for you
6.
he placed his hands
on my mind
before reaching
for my waist
my hips
my lips
he didn’t call me
beautiful first
he called me
exquisite
7.
my favourite thing about you is your smell
you smell like
earth
herbs
gardens
a little more
human than the rest of us
8.
i know i
should crumble
for better reasons
but have you seen
that boy he brings
the sun to its
knees every
night
