5 / 30 : touch.

i'm the type of person
who's blood runs so cold now
that i need a tight embrace
to finally fall asleep

and this past winter happened to be
the coldest ever
in at least 
504 different ways

and you would come to me 
at the stroke of midnight on some
cinderfella shit 
placed your coat on my dresser
unzipped your hoodie
kicked off the kicks
climbed in my bed and made it
hot

i'd be lying if i said i loved you
and you'd be lying if you said
the same but
i fell in love with your touch
each and every time your
skin pinched mine

my twin bed was so small but
it always held us comfortably
as long as we were intertwined
tight like thieves
ankles to ankles
knees to knees and we
breathed the same stifling air
until the fumes made us pass out

but in the early morning around 4
am i would often wake up in a panic
victim of a midmorning's nightmare
and i'd shake you off of me 
you'd look so hurt
hurt 
each and every time although
they were honest mistakes
i think
