I’m not as cryptic as I’d like to be
My words splat on your concrete face like 21st birthday vomit
Splish splash hot tub secrets
Slippery lips let it loose
Don’t tell anyone
Please
Okay?
Pinky promise with your lip lock lips
Sealed away with saliva stickers
Telephone ticks like ripped up wrists
Secrets make it worth it
Eyelash battles and cheesy fingertips
Pillow pressed on your rosy cheeks
Kiss me once
Dare
Spin the bottle and leave it to fate
Does she love me?
Rose petals are the acronym lady
Nail polish sticks like my cherry Chapstick on your sleepover smile
Truth
Act surprised for my sake
Pretty pretty princess please
Don’t you know I love you so I push you away?
Sloppy hands roll up the sleeping bags
Don’t go
Monkey bar workouts like good morning texts
Playground hand holds under lunchbox luck
Swing set kiss at sunset I told you
Higher
But you wouldn’t push
Tired
Dinner time sun down come inside
Bye
You left me for the murder mystery
She’s up and down like jump rope
Beating on the blacktop
I write poems in colored chalk
I’ll see you again on Saturday
After the rain
