Skin to Skin
I want to feel our bodies,
have them pressed up skin to skin
And I want to hear your heartbeat
Like a clock (tick-tock) within
I want to sync our breathing
If you stop, then so will I
And then death will take these lovers –
who are both too young to die.
I want to leave my kisses
on your lips, your neck, your scars
And I want to watch you sleeping
like we often watch the stars.
I want to hold you closer
Feel us pressed up skin to skin
Be less lonely, share the sadness
that we both have locked within.
