T-Shirt

I never thought that you would become another wrinkled t-shirt hidden in my closet.
I wore you like a second skin.
My veins pumped your name
And my voice sang your snores when you slept.
I fell in love with all of you.

Even though I shouldn’t.
I can’t be naïve again.
You, with your kisses like the soft touch of a razor blade
You were sweet pain.
I can’t deny that I’m afraid.

You can look me in my eyes and lie to me right now.
I have no choice but to trust you
And it hurts.
Opening the locked safe that was my heart is taking
Its toll on me.

I’m tired of being a closed box.
I deserve your love.
I deserve any love.

And right now, I’m still in your t-shirt.
Don’t join the others hidden in the bottom of my closet.
Please be special.
Be good to me.
