the other side of D...my life in private

your eyes

I've wanted to kiss you a thousand times, at least
since the thousand or so minutes since i did last
and i hear your voice in my head
both soothing and
exhilarating

please keep your fingers more careful than precarious
i can't stand the thought of falling
my brittle heart cracking
on the cold sidewalk
outside of the rivergate
or Lincoln center
or any of the other thousand places I've thought to myself
"is this real?"

i think i would like it if you stopped looking at me
like that
that way with your head slightly tilting
and your eyes piercing into me
i can't seem to control myself when you do
i want to scratch
bite
kiss
hit you and run away
any excuse to feel your skin on mine

i can't fake not wanting this
i can't act my way out of this paper bag I'm in
trying to catch my breath
waiting for the rush to subside
trying to find somewhere to hide
hoping you'll find me anyway

and look at me like that
that way with your head slightly tilting
and your eyes piercing into me
any excuse to feel your eyes
