Beneath his skin
Lying beside him just isn’t enough
I want to melt into his body
find all the empty space and fill him with my love
to be a part of him
as if I were red beneath skin
If I were to cry
tears would fall from his eyes
my reflection in the tiny drop
if I were to laugh
his mouth would shine a contagious smile
that at no cost would stop
If I were to wiggle my fingers and move my toes
his body would squirm with uncontrollable joy
and if I were to fall asleep
his hazel eyes would also close
oh such a beautiful soul
such a beautiful boy
If he were to run out of breath
I’d share my lungs
if he needed more taste in his life
I’d let him borrow my tongue
if he were falling down
I’d help him stand steady
and if he were to ask for my heart
I’d claim he owns it already.
