keep me close, write my name

along the inside of your finger.

swear we’re the same,

sentiments you wrap in paper.

 

leave the smoke, leave the style.

capture now and return to yes.

flee the room, use your guile,

soft and spare, the reasons why.

 

make me warm. be last to leave

when the party’s done.

forget yourself, you’ll believe

in your heart, in my need.
