To be loved
As my bones creaked,
I want you to soothe them.
To touch me and grease the hinges that squeak.
Let me let out a sigh of relief
And smile and moan
At how gentle your hands caress me,
Of how deep this goes
And how it unravels mysteries
And unlocks my darkest stress
Please release my stress
Find out about my day
And then joke about it
Let me wear a scowl
And hit you with my tiny hands
Grab them and place kisses on them
Stare into my eyes and let it hold light,
Care for me
In this moment I am like an egg;
Delicate and fragile
Don’t break me.
I just need your love,
For you to cuddle me
And for you to try singing
I won’t mind how horrible you sound for tonight
Because you make me feel loved
You make me know life can’t be a fairytale
Because that’s what you are
And I am grateful you are my wonderland
Please I am not Alice
