vie,
you terrible, lovely boy
leaving me in charge of a wild heart
unable to take this decoy
I wanted just a taste
of your electric kiss
and elastic waist
but here I am in a quandary
writing to erase your lingering face
“but do I really want to forget?”
– my crimson cheeks betray me –
as I cling on to the memory
of the time you made my toes curl
