Love Me
I cover myself in rosewater,flower myself with petals
My hair goes down my shoulders while giving an aroma of lavender
Do you think I’m pretty?
I curl my lashes, wash my hair, I can’t wait to see you
Do you think I’m pretty?
I look in the mirror one last time, tell myself to not look again
You see me and tell me I look exquisite
My cheeks flush, I begin to bite my lips until they become the tone of summer raspberries
You look at me,your jaw starts to tense, your mouth begins to water
Just let me have a taste he says
I tell him not yet
We walk to his apartment
We drink cherry wine
I think about what flavor you are while you talk about how your passions drive you crazy at night
I feel my lip, I’m biting it again, I want to wait
You start to undress me and the rose petals start to fall
I’m opening up to you
You grabbed my face suddenly yet so gently
We start to kiss and you leave me breathless in between
You stop and look at me like we are the only ones in the universe
The rest is just white noise
We explore each other’s body like maps of places we have yet to meet
I want a love like this
A love so powerful it consumes every inch of my soul
I want a fresh pair of eyes to see me
The real me
The fragile, hopeless romantic who pretends to be nothing of what she can actually be
Please find me
