I want to become
the darkness in which you find solace
the silence that comforts you
a safe haven for you
to rest
the ketchup that enhances
the taste of what you eat
the drug that takes you higher
without repercussions

I want to become
the pillow
in which you hide your face
the wall
that shuts the world out
a subtle kiss, planted
on a spot you never even knew
you could feel anything in

I want to become
the earth
in which you can safely take root
and blossom

I want
to hold you closer
than you’ve ever been
disintegrate into you
remain in your bloodstream
endlessly embracing you
from the inside

I want to
be forever submerged in you
explore every crevice of your body
partake of the things
you think you must hide
despite that
(or because)
they will make you even more adorable

I want to be
enthralled by the sense of bliss
on your face when you listen to music
and by the slant of your mischievous lips
before I kiss them, trying
to make you feel
what you feel to me

I want
you to leave
because you want to leave
but I want you
to want not to leave
even when you want to

I
never want to stop feeling
you
