999 H

you’re an ex con
in a family neighborhood
you’re a wolf
in a family park
you’d be okay
if you took time
but you’re a bed
with teeth and full of
shrapnel

so full of shit

are you open to suggestions?

I knew it had to be this way
right after
we first met
but I kept my mouth
shut
and we kept our clothes
on
or
off

are you open to second chances?

if you tried to make me yours
I would be a dog off the leash

you should come with a warning
across your lips

I’d give up my hands to hold you
despite everything
I’ve said
