It's like you wanted to drown.
You left the comfort of your shelter
And instead of gazing at the rain
Through the window,
You felt it through a different kind of pain,
As the rain of my seduction
Reigned over you
In the cold disaster of the storm.

You kissed me.
I tried to draw my figure
And mark with an 'x'
Which spots of my body
You touched yourself,
But I was covered in black.

I couldn't see any part of myself,
So I sat down and wrote to you
That this book was written
Just to remind me
Of the distance between us.

I'm driving fast down the freeway,
Wondering where in the world you are,
Thinking you're probably in the dressing room
******* some other girl,
While I'm barely getting dressed in the morning,
Wishing I was back in bed
With my head on your chest
And my ear to your heart,
Listening to your heart beat
Like the pulse of the still breathing.

As my chest rides and falls
I see the reflection of a clock
On the wall,
Haunting me for my beating heart
And God above is watching it all.

I lay here
Cursing my skin
For reminiscing the days
Where I forgot where I end
And you begin

All I want is to hear the palpatations
Underneath your ribs
As I lay on your chest,
Atop the rise of your breath.

Right now I'm afraid that
I loved you so much,
It took everything out from under me
And I'm left winded -
Perfectly alone,
Wanting to know if I can ever feel
Like a galaxy lives in my arteries,
The place your stars used to swim.

It feels good to sit with you
And watch the light bend
From the cotton candy sky.
The colors are bursting through
Their horizontal zipper.
You take me home;
I fall asleep
To the soundtrack of blurred colors,
And I dream about you all night long.
You're the only playlist
I can keep alive

Tell me how pretty I look
In my little red dress.
Tell me I am as bold and brilliant
As the Crimson on my skin.

Tell me you think about me at 2 p.m.,
When your shift is almost up
And you want to make plans.

Tell me the greatest sight
You ever hope to see
Is a small bump
Developing above my hips.

I don't want to play pretend
