Butterflies

I can see you want to touch my heart

It’s yours anyway with all its parts

But I got a tiny question to impart

Would you stare at me in a room full of art?

You’re taking a sip on your whiskey

While my lips taste your sweet cheeks

With our bodies moving through the rhythm

And your eyes make me feel like I’m dreaming

Are your arms meant nothing but my safety?

I should then consider myself lucky

And to have kissed your nice dimple and sharp jaws

Got my butterflies make a round of applause

If you may please borrow my heart

You’re the only one who can tear it apart

But if you choose to give it back to me

I’ll surely see your face in everyone in this party

The only scar I got from all this spark

Is when I have to close my eyes in the dark

And your absence makes me want to scream

So please be there even in my dreams

Can we always listen to music together?

Can you be the subject of my poems forever?

I know you have feelings you may want to guard

But sorry, I just ship myself with you so hard

And if you may, please keep my heart

You’re the one who makes it race from the start

Despite the rough bruises on its surface

You took and wore it like a gold necklace
