paper hearts & the way you say my name by Olivia Weinkeinhe tries his best to please me
but i am always hungry, always
looking over his shoulder always
wanting more.
he stares at me with such intensity
that in the right light, i could combust
but is it love thats burning into me
from his retinas or something worse.
and when he is quiet i pull him into me
and when he says he loves me, i push
away.
i take him into my mouth to keep
from having to say another thing
i don't mean and he loves me he loves
me, i
love the silence, love his heavy breathing,
love not having to think about anything
except yes, he is about to finish and yes,
i do intend to swallow this
and only this
but please no more words, no more heartfelt
sentiment, no more I Love You's because
i do but then i don't but then i do again.
he loves me
he loves me
he loves me
but i only love what i can do to him.
