I want to touch
every inch of you
feel every dip and bend
I, want to awkwardly poke your ear
take it between my two clumsy fingers
feel every curve
the curve of your sweet lips
the taste of your smile
and I never, ever
want to forget
burn it into my subconscious
burn every picture of me and the ex that could not care less(about me)
what matters
is that you are here now
to soothe my wounds
tell me I'm worth it
tell me you love me
even if I can't find the courage to say it back
quite
yet

sheets smell like pennies
alcohol always lingers
you can feel the poverty
like dirt
on the tip of your fingers

you did what I expected
I knew it from the start
you said you wanted me
but you chose her
and broke my heart

If you left me now
I wouldn't notice
the absence
Because really
you were hardly there
anyhow.

I want you
to tell me
you love me
Those three words
Would mean everything
To my poor
And ragged heart
Give it life
Restart it's beat
With three words
Short and sweet
I want you
To tell me
You love me
The same way
I love you

What is love
Other than pain and despair
With a little bit of happiness
Here and there.
