stay!

and let your scent linger on my taste buds

for i desire my favorite down-low liar

but! i want to shout your name

out the window and out the depths of my constricted throat

the lines your fingers left brought me back to earth

to a bed i want to encase me

so stay!

with me you’ll never have to worry about

the clocks ticking in your head

since we’ll never fall asleep

i broke your bed once and i’ll break it again

Hello! My name is X. and I'm a senior at UNC-CH majoring in Gender Studies and English. When I'm not stressed out about doing research on non-white gender performance for my thesis I like to write queer poetry. Welcome to this little sliver of my mind!
