regardless of where and which roads (write)

i. so today we get together
   as per your request
   today you (at last) confess to me

   i watch you narrate

   the e.e. cummings you've
   kept chained in your rhythm,
   in your beats and paces and all other nooks
   and crooks
   and hidden places

   i've secretly always known existed


   i want you to start writing today



ii. you tell me you believe
    in your ability
    to write the words i always knew you whispered;
    steaming at the hearts of other girls
    turning them to froth
    while i watch my own heart
    shrivel like dregs
    in the same cup of cappuccino

    i've always been drinking off drought



iii. i am screaming even in my softest tissues
     blaming my body for my hearts' issues

     admit to me
     (your best blue jeans and bravery set forth)
     read me unspoken
     find it futile to resist (dear me)
     by grace you do and you do
     admit to me
     my meth, my myth
     how (i never have the courage to say)

     i am your greatest muse

     forever
     
     regardless of where and which roads

     
     i want you to start writing today



iv. so today we get together
    after forever being stuck
    in a brother-sister-best-friend situation

    we are still so young
    not in the least bit lacking in naivete

    spiking our taffy tongues
    scraping our cherry hearts



v. i want to be able to relive

   these very minutes
   as they are happening and as
   i am thinking them to my self
   the redness and dampness of my cheeks
   and you, with your ever calloused hands
   hold and kiss my face- save for my lips
   (for you too, are afraid of retribution)
   full with utter inexpressible devotion

   i want you to write me
   the greatest love story ever written
   and


   i want you to start writing today
