Velvetine
give me some innocence
just a little silken touch
soft as the inside of your mouth
and slow as half frozen creeks
I want to feel every nerve ending
light up under my touch
I want to excite your senses
with the weight of this experience
this is a small bone from my neck
I want to belong to you
this is the lining of my heart
I want to be yours
and I wish
I wish I was still seventeen
and oh, how I wish
I wish we were all still velveteen
