you have this mirror in your bedroom
the reflection left me in awe
my body shaking
+sewing my mouth shut
only letting nervous spots of my surface slip through
+you laugh. sweet fucking laughter.
my ignorance, apparent.
your visual appeal
its impression: forward in my skull
KISS MY CHEEK
a thoughtless request
followed by a thoughtless action
-well rehearsed.
a simple adjustment of position
in that moment you had me
my heart sunk to the floor
the reality of this situation ---
perfectly strikes me
almost sickening
i allow myself this one dream
an unattainable picture of ignorant bliss.
