I am soft for you

Illustrated by Justine

i am soft for you.

like cotton splattered with blood and tears

or the clouds that bring in a storm.

like dandelions that have been set ablaze.

i am soft for you.

when you are gripping my thighs or

biting down on my lip in the dark.

when i am melting in your arms

as you kiss my neck.

i am soft for you.

like sand mixed with shards of glass

or silk that has been shredded to pieces.

like snow that will eventually melt.

i am soft for you.

when you are wrapping yourself around me

or flicking your eyelashes on my cheek.

when you are telling me you love me

and pulling me down deep.
