White

you're heavenly,

and white,

and sometimes it hurts.

the roughness of your lips

and the peeled skin on your fingers

the way you keep your nails nice and short


never have I ever

been denied

from something I want as much as this

I'm trying my best to remember each note you sing

and each reaction and expression that you bring to me

the way your jaw curves in

it's aesthetically pleasing

and the way your shoulders reach out

just far enough,

well, I could try and grasp it all day,

and the way your eyes deepen

enough for me to drown

and your steady breathing,

mixed with your erratic heart beat

bring me to the surface

your voice travels where no one else has gone

leaving sweet nothings,

and melodies,

tied together

with the works of your mind
