sweet dreams, beautiful nightmares

please

my mind's a cup overflows,

in moments when you're here and not;

my desire is the smoke from your cigarettes–

unhealthy but leaves a profounding mark;

your touch combusted me in ways

none of them dares, none of them done;

your presence is the air that i breathe,

your absence suffocates me dear.

i don't want you like everyone does,

not longing for you like my everyday drugs–

every inch of your body is all that i need,

needs you above else, all of you into me.

please, let me be–

the person that you badly need;

won't think twice as i dive into the depths,

just to have you seating next to me;

i can see you staring back at my soul,

hold your hand tight and i'll take you home;

so please, let me be

and i'll love you as you please.

you turn my tides unbeknownst,

turning every memories' a holy ghost;

your smile shines brighter than a distant sun,

calming down my fight or flight response;

you turn my midnights into fine afternoons,

doing the pleasure of dreaming 'bout you;

love is a gamble, worse kind of addiction–

a kiss on my cheek, losing all inhibitions.

i don't see you in ways they usually do,

told you some secrets that none of them know;

every ounce of your soul is all that i need,

my sweet pill to my dire, bitter being.

please, let me be–

a part of you that you won't ever leave;

throw off my cards just to see you clear,

making a heaven out of my fever dreams;

smoothed all the edges of my jagged soul

and now that i found you, i won't let you go;

so please, let me be

and i'll love you as you please.

you kissing me is rare medicine,

my hands touching yours is sweet ecstasy;

you'll never know how i need you dear,

make me the one who watches you sleep;

i touch my phone as if it's your face,

from the madness we've seen– let's run away.

please, let me be

a place where you can pour your bittersweet tears;

these times are uncertain but you can trust me,

when things gets too busy, i am still here;

i am always dying to let you know–

you're one in a million, my philosopher's stone;

so please, let me be

and i'll love you as you please.
