traced the curve of my spine with his fingertips
that he thinks like one.

Because I could never fall in love with a man
who didn’t know
that the most tender thing
he could possibly do

Because fuck if that’s not one of my favorites.
And all I ever wanted was to fold myself into someone
who heralded unspoken thoughts and was a messenger
of words without words
of a kiss broken by silence,
of silence, broken by a kiss.

They just held secrets
like gold teeth in the back of their mouths,
And they kissed me
like I was the last poem in the world."

That one gave me chills.
And of course, this chilling song (an old favorite) to me, captures the words.
"Your eyes they look the same as mine
