SKIN

Inside my back pocket are slips of paper with your name on them
I try to smell your skin beneath the ink
Every letter of every word is saved and craved ‘til you return
You never do, but I will always wait

Everything is all I need
And all I want is all I see
I will make you a part of me
No one else will have you but me

Through your lighted window I watch you watch yourself in the mirror
Your moves I trace with fingers on my face
Step into shadowed eves, step out of the light so you can’t see me
Would it frighten you if you knew I was here?

Everything is all I need
And all I want is all I see
I will make you a part of me
No one else will have you but me

To own your skin
To breathe it in
To own your skin
To breathe it in
