Description
shit, i'm going to ruin you...

can i trace constellations in your cheeks and
love you
only because I need your weight to anchor me here?

can i kiss
your phantom ribs and
lambent eyelids even though
i know
you have been kissed by God?

can i breathe in
your whole purity
to satisfy my hunger,
drain the coffee from your irises
so I can feel beautiful
and awake?

can i ask you to hold my smile in your eyes
so i don't lose it and
forget about it like a sun left to die?
and when you say yes,
can you let me take your hands in mine
and hold me while i fall to pieces because
i am afraid to lie alone and
it is easier to love me in pieces anyway.

i know.

...

i know.

so despite my selfishness,
will you give and give but never forgive?
punish me for my penitence because
you will be so much worse for this love and that
kills me only half as much as i will be killing you.
