Flatter Me to Death

Flatter me to death.
Tell me you like my shoes.
Tell me that you think I’m cute.
You know it’s what I want to hear.

Crush me with your compliments,
I’m easily entranced.
Please read me, taunt me, tease me,
Stop my heart with that killer glance.

Hit me with your best lines,
But let me catch my breath.
Leave me winded with your words;
Make me stammer in your presence.

Smother me with kisses,
And choke me with your hugs.
Drown me in the false connotations you love.
You know I live for nights like these.

Take my breath for granted,
And waste your words on me.
Tie my tongue in stupid knots,
Forget-it-all or forget-me-nots?

Kill me with your ignorance,
But don’t count it as my bliss.
Besides, you know I’d do it all-
For.
Just.
One.
Simple.
Kiss.
