CORRIDOR
You chase me down the corridor, I can barely breathe
A hand that’s skimming the wall, skin against me in my sleep
We reach the end of the hall, you stop and turn to me
With either hand on my shoulders, you kiss me, smiling teeth
Smiling do not speak
And grin with all your teeth
You kiss so pretty sweet
It’s still in me when I leave
I can’t believe there was a first time I laid eyes on you
And that I had no conception of the weight of the moments before I looked up at you
And I knew something aligned
Your hair was short but your eyes defied
any attempt to question your might
And I loved
that you simply didn’t give a shit
A little contention
an eye-roll, I’m over it
Loved by all, but hated the most
by those you tried to love back
And I know you’re about as capable
as a bug on its back
You really wanted me to see your new house
and I said I would and I didn’t, and I can’t

It’s still in me when I leave
When I
I never know when to speak
I never know when to speak
I never know when to speak
I never know, I
I never know when to speak
I never know when to speak
I never know when to speak, I
