Every time I wanted to protect you
I would fall back into empty
Untethered without warning
In a real thought
That I used to have
I would worry you'd die
10 years before me
I wanted you to reach out and touch
I wanted you to eat me whole
Baby, won't you hold me down
In the shell of my body
Carve me out
If you like me so much
Kiss me
If you like me so much
Let me know
Far too late
And with far too much hesitation
If you can't stomach me now
You know I wouldn't blame you
When I ask for your patience
It's not an accusation
Showing my soft stomach in trust
This is a newborn, infant love
Pink and hot, from another flesh
I wanted you to consume me, body first
And if I needed to overlook
I would've overlooked for you
By the baring of my teeth
Baby, won't you overwhelm me?
If you like me so much
F*ck me
If you like me so much
Let me know
I will take my own advice
Far too late
And with far too much hesitation
And I kept thinking that
If you came and kissed me
I'd forgive you instantly
I want to scream at you
Open-mouthed and pleading
Every time I'm happy
I think it'll be the last time
