Bargain
January 26, 2015
I feel you before I see you,
The way your feet strike the ground is uniquely yours,
The way my skin rises from my skeleton is uniquely mine.
So let’s skip the formalities in favor of a riotous collision of cells and follicles and lashes.
I’ll trade two of my ribs for one of yours and we can swap irises how does that sound?
Peel of your scar and glue it to my arms and I’ll shove my spine into your back pocket you can protect better than I can.
I feel you before I see you,
Cymbal hearts don’t lie and you know I never could,
The way it feels to hold each other between our lashes is no mistake...
How does that sound?
