Not mine

a poem about wanting

I savor this feeling of skin on skin

feeling the pull of my hair

we are in too deep

to not have a care

the way you make laugh

the simple touch of lips on mine

sensation of your hands on my back

I'm in too deep and can't relax

I want you now

and maybe for a while

must we always bid our time?

the way I fall too quickly

too fucking fast

you aren't ready to hold my hand in the dark

but then you look at me like that

and pull me in so tight there's

no room for air

but I don't want to breathe

only stay still in time

just waiting until you will call me mine
