Let’s get out of here
we’ve seen this all before
I like the bare skin and bright lights
the world of sloppy seconds and designer drugs
but I’d rather shoot up with your blood
and feel the love.
I envy your spine
need to be your heat
I want to catch your nerve endings
like snowflakes on my tongue.
You’re not a stranger anymore.
I know you like I know myself but brighter.
I’m a beast and you’re a ballet,
I keep you on your toes.
We could have spent a lifetime stitched in furtive glances
but I only needed days for your tongue to be my favourite flavour,
less time than it took to build the world.
I’m every lie you’ve ever told
but the side of your bed you don’t sleep on
won’t be cold while I’m around.
