They are just flesh and anonymity
Bones that structure but don’t poke
I stared into the open space
Not at his face as he spoke
I ain’t pulled or drawn or captivated
By any skin that ain’t your shade
I don’t need to pluck off because I don’t give
Opportunity for other hands to get laid
If you ain’t here to take attention
My mind wonders to you in visceral photo
And I’ll drop anything and anyone
When you call this flowertop to yoyo
How many times can I say
Oh, you must’ve needed it
Yeah I’m good or how are you
Same wounded pattern and we’re bleeding it
There’s something about these letters
That leave me so unitched
Then every time I go to ignore
And you pop up I become unstitched
I have spent every lucky fag on you
Pray well-being and returned attachment
Yet the roads and seas and railways
That keep us away mean I only get a fraction
Don’t worry about the prying eyes
The looks, the tries, the gawking
I literally just repeat your name in my brain
When to me they’re talking
I’m setting back and old fashioned
To be so devoted and submissive
But they don’t touch me like you do
Or get all these bubbles so illicit
You will feel the gut wrenching
The screw driver I get in my chest
When I think how good and pure you are
When I’m just like the rest
I beg for absolute invisibility
I don’t even want them to look
Because I’m all for you or I’m nothing
Dancing tenderly upon your hooks
So don’t sit and fester in your worry
Because I am that silent saint you thought
When you first sunk claws into me
Now I’ve seen totally what you saw
I don’t want to be put together
Attractive, good looking or sweet
I want the world to see the slum of me
So they avoid the war before the defeat
I can’t be arsed to explain that I belong
To a man as if I’m property
But that’s what I know I have to do
To give myself to you properly
So when this world has us apart
Know I’m wondering as if on loan
Just pull those strings as I’m round
Your little fingers and bring me home
View me as an extension of you
And I’ll see you as just the same
So when the world eats me alive
I’m revived just by your name
When every eye is turned on me
And every back is brushing past
I know that I can grip your hips
And the comfort there will last
You’ll see me through, so I will do
Whatever it is you ask
It took me a while to join the road
But now down the path I hurtle fast
So I’ll sit back, bite my nails
Watch your determination as you drive
I’ll turn up to every lesson you have
As you teach love, yes, I don’t skive
Show me all the ways you want me
And I’ll return that favour
But I want you in this bed beside me
Not outside, outskirt, neighbour
And least of all, a stranger.
