Use Me

It’s midnight
And I’m in somebody else’s bed
Instead of my own
Why do I do the things I do?
Is there something wrong with me?
Well, if I have to ask
Maybe I already know
But I like that you do these things with me
I feel close to someone
Or something
Even though I know it’s not real
It’s playing pretend
Discovering the boundaries of our bodies
And seeing where it takes us
Or me
Where is it taking me?
I realized I’m intrigued with the idea
Of having your attention
No, I don’t like you that way
But you like what you see
That’s enough for me
That’s enough to pull me in
Maybe that’s what I crave
So I’m telling you to use me
And let me know
Not because you want me
But because I need you to
