25.

forget him forget him forget him forget him
sidle over here and let me see you

let your hair down over me
let your fingers go,
let your shirt hang loose

let me get at what’s inside you
I wanna see the roots and vines
that tangle underneath your skin
I want your breath in my veins

let me see those lips, girl
let me see how they bloom like flower petals
when you say my name

let me say your name

let me hold it between my tongue and teeth
and tickle the consonants and vowels
I wanna trace the knots in your back
and stitch up your broken places

forget him forget him forget him forget him
come over here pretty girl and let me see you
