BUT HERE YOU ARE

I apologize for my acne

Feeling uneasy within

The last person I was with

Would point it all out with a grin

Loving me was a chore

My conversations a bore


But here you are

Saying you adore every part of me

Even the flaws

You kissed my lips 

till they’re delightfully raw


I apologize for the body hair 

That I can’t bare to look at

That might be why the last one 

Never cared to touch me

As I clutch this feeling of insecurity 


But here you are

Back at my house 

Pinning me to the floor

Imploring me, to let you kiss me

On every part of me that I abhor 


Your blue eyes piercing 

Your smile so kind

Honestly if it’s you…

For some reason

my brain doesn’t seem to mind


In hindsight 

That person 

Just wasn’t made for me

Projecting their own insecurities 

I never should have stayed,

To their abuse I was a slave


But here you are now

With my head in your hands

And my heart at your feet

Honestly;

I’d be your slave in a fucking heartbeat 


I feel a certain resistance 

When I’m with you

Probably because I’ve been rejected physically 

For so long

It makes me want to turn 

This poem into a song…

I would call it

In your arms is where I belong.

PLEASE TELL ME

I’m scared of how happy I feel

Tell me

How did you first, steal my sight

Then stole a kiss

So swift

You never missed

Played every one of my heart strings

In a matter of three days

I should stay away

You’ve bewitched me

Body and soul 

Tell me

What is your goal?

Are you here to end me?

But the way you held me

In your arms 

So gently

Makes me want to believe

We have the red string of fate

The way we talk till so late

And never want to leave 

It’s almost like I can still hear your small whines

Amongst the leaves 🍃 

You won’t leave my thoughts be

You’ve mutinied my mind 

My logic and reason walking the plank

As it jumps into the ocean ♒️ 

I catch myself again

Staring blankly, at nothing

In the middle of the day

You’ve got my thoughts

In complete disarray 

I won’t apologize 

At least not anymore

Because the way my heart sunk

When I led you back to your front door 

Tell me

Am I allowed to come back for more?
