May I?

May I kiss you to sleep, my love?
I'll kiss your eyelids closed.
I'll kiss your thoughts away.
Your dreams will be sweet.
I'll kiss until you sleep.
My lips will be your lullaby.

What I needed was the sun on my face.
The wind in my hair.

I didn't expect your lips on my face.
Your fingers in my hair.

Too many kisses
An overabundance of "I love you"s
Tell me, what's a poor girl to do?
You say it so often that I don't believe you.

All that I know is if you keep calling me "Darling",
I won't be your darling anymore.

Let me just listen to "Vincent" on repeat
and wish that you had kissed me goodnight
and hope that you miss me tonight
and that you reminisce
about how much easier you fall asleep
when I'm next to you.
when you're lazily running your fingers
across my skin.
and I'm thoughtlessly lacing my fingers
into your hair
I could live there.
Intertwined with you.

finite.

Categorize me.
Put me where you want me.
Where you need me.
Match me
With all the other mes you've met.
Make me what you need me to be.

Smash me into a rhyme scheme.
Cut away at me until I fit.

Classify me.
Diagnose me.
Divide me.


Take away my mystery
My tragic spontaneity
That damned impromptu love.

Make me finite.
I have no more fight
left.

I'm not waiting for your kisses.



Because I will not get lost.
