11/21/2018

I keep a spot open in my heart
For boys like you
There are arrows leading the way,
"Here! Here!" they practically scream

You make your way in
We get comfortable with this new arrangement
I seal it up

But now you want out
You attempt to punch, to pierce the flesh closing
But it won't give
You are trapped

Instead, you get resourceful in your quest
You find trapdoors leading to my other vital organs
You swim around my brain, my stomach
You pump through my arteries
You help me to breathe

This is how you stay inside me.

I need a thing I can do really well that isn't just loving people.
