i don’t want to be your friend

i want to kiss the confines of your broken mind

i want to know the flavor of your universe

but i’m an outsider

i’m a stranger to the fingertips of silent lovers

i want to be your goddamn bitch

i want to feel the vibrations of your made up paradise

i want to taste the violence of your sweet nicotine-stained tongue

but i’m an outsider

i’m a stranger to the faces i see everyday

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!
