Richard smells like Christmas trees

Richard smells like Christmas trees

A Poem by jbop
"

They don't even compare to you.

"
Look at you..
That's the thing I like least about you,
how beautiful you are on the outside.
And after a few, your voice goes all husky and gravelly.
I want to drown myself in it.
I've always just wanted to quickly stuff you into my handbag and run away.
I want to swallow you.
I want to sweat the things you say.
I want to live inside you,
safe behind your ribcage.
You're the one person I shouldn't tell,
that I want to take my shoes off because my feet hurt.
But they do.
And the one person I tell, 
is you.
You bite your nails too short. Really short.
But I like your hands.
When they're holding mine.
But that's only happened, just one time.
It's funny, the things you remember.
Sometimes the things you can't forget, are not so amusing.

i thought i had more sense

endearing in its honesty.. i hope he is a gentleman and offers to carry you when your feet hurt. i think that's the least you deserve :)
i am loving your writing.

yes, you've written straight, clean, honest words, but it's the nail biting that gives me pause, and your willingness to go there
