You Pt. 1

I can hear you in my sobs that rattle the glasses on my face

I can feel you as I breathe in the ocean

My lungs protesting as fish nibble at their edges.

I can contain my love for you.

Into neat little post it labeled jars

I pour my adoration for your soul.

I can hang my veins on the coat racket on the inside of your door

Spread my liver and kidneys on the floor

Unwind my intestines and while I’m at it, here’s my heart and mind and soul, too.

Better give you all of me just for good measure

Do with me what you please.

I don’t care as long as I get to occasionally hear your brilliant voice sewing stars into the sky

And see your eyes sparkle when you laugh

If you’d like you can even feed on my emotions

So ripe and revolting around you, happiness and lust and curiosity, adoration and irritation

Their smell is pungent because the heart they come from is damaged, its mind broken

By too many lost hopes and I am starved for affection

Please handle me with care.

And if you let me

I will love you like no other could

Don’t you see?

I’m right here on my knees begging silently for you to please love me too.
