splash of water
very wet kisses
lots of laughter
piercing eyes
bump my head
grab my thighs

something new
too good to be true
day one day two
can’t get enough of you
day three day four
i want you even more
day five day six
things to fix
a raised voice
making a choice
friendly party
breaking boundary
day seven day eight
not going so great
day nine
let’s try again
but when
my anxiety appears
your feelings and fears
outshine mine
not okay
so i say
with stomach clenched
guarded arms
it’s time to go
you move so slow
tie your shoes
wipe your tears
it’s only day nine
it’s awkward i fear
exchanging notes
decision and hopes
it’s not your choice
your true voice
is childish and cruel
what was my rule?
that’s the problem
veil has fallen
maybe it’s time
to claim what is mine
me, my home
leave me alone
stronger than i look
that’s why you’re so shook
the answer is no
time for you to go
was nice for a while
i gave an inch
you took a mile
i still smile
shake off the vile
close my shutters
stop my shudders
i can move on
i can get along
