I want to

Breathe you in,

Trap you in the

Cage of my ribs.

And I will

Feel your skin

In the hollows of my chest

And your spine

Bowing into mine.

With every breath

I want to

Feel your lungs contract

And your blood

Rushing in my veins.

I want to

Lace your fingers

With my own

And feel your heartbeat

In my thumbs.

I want to feel you

When I smile-

Your teeth sharp

Against my lip

And your lashes

Soft on my cheek.

I will inhale

Your entirety

Let you live inside.

Fold your essence into mine.

I want to feel you.
