Love Me Raw

You don't know that you're my favorite poem.
I could never just breathe the words to you
because they'd never compare to the poems your smile writes on my heart.
Nothing I ever say to you will compare to the masterpiece your love paints on my soul.

And if you ever leave
I'll love again,
but know that you'll always be in my head.

You already inhabit my brain.
I'd say, "like a parasite"
but its more like a God.
More like a love, like a song,
like a right, like a wrong.

Stay.
Love me sore, Love me so hard.
Love me 'til my heart is raw.
Don't ever stop.

There are trains in this world
louder than explosions,
but your heart is still louder than that.
It echoes in the empty room of my rib cage
and it shatters my bones,
leaves me shaking.
Leaves me wishing we were taking this home,
in a doggy bag.
Our love is a full course dinner we cannot finish,
so we take it home
to bed.
