daughter of a pianist

and a heavy drinker;

she was alone

with the voice of a dancer

and the movement of a singer

"grow your secrets in your hair because darling, no one will look for them there"

   I can't read your lips unless they are touching mine.

the softness of my pillow

and the roughness of your fingers

have all meant so much to me

iloveyouandiloveyouandiloveyouandiloveyou.

i am just one of the stars

lost in a sea of same

only unique

to telescope eyes

so they learn my name

but call me jennifer

and they tell me i'm beautiful

but fuck other girls

i should not

be allowed

to be in love

you deserve a chase

you deserve some mystery

i can give you

hidden looks

and under table touches

but i can't pretend

that i don't care

i would have rather

never seen your face

than to purposely

make you think

i dont want you.

i will always want you.

skin, teeth, tongue, from fingertips to toes

i want you.
