Poem for #27

Yes, come over and make me feel warmth
Touch my skin
but
don’t get near my heart

Be charmed by my difference
my strange advertisement
I’ll pretend to not know
you are only playing a game

Make me feel

My mind will be in a far off place
cigarette burns and broken hearts

But lets share a Nat Sherman
on my front porch
and
Forget everything else

You are temporary
You are a toy
I am coded
You are direct
but
We are both telling lies

We only want the comfort of another body
Lets give that to each other

I told you I wanted to be told I was beautiful
So you told me so

You wanted to be alone with me
You teased me
I tease you
I will never let you in

but tonight
and maybe once again, soon
Come over
Touch me
Kiss me
Caress me
Enter me
and we’ll never speak of it again

I don’t want your friendship
I don’t want your heart
Only your soul
Just one night

maybe two
