esoteric my hardest swear word

i could tell by the way you look at me that you
disapproved; the motives that moved me delighted me
shocked you.

but what could i do? deny the ridiculous deliciousness
laughing in your eyes like that? i know you like to
pretend you haven't been waiting for a girl like me since
the fifth grade or the sixth and i promise i promise
i won't hold it against you, i will wait for you
i will let you get over it your disconcerted expression.

esoteric my hardest swear word instability my greatest joy
i am buzzing like insects against your skin i was
only pretending to sleep.

  2. I like pretending that the above comment is a prayer.

    I wish I knew someone who prayed like that.
