Kiss Me Tonight

kiss me tonight


kiss me tonight
don't wait until you find a mistletoe
when the world finds us
we could tell them we kissed under the mistletoe
and nothing would be any different

kiss me tonight
burn me until i am but ashes
smother me, cut my lips open between yours
don't stop until my blood spoils your lipstick
my wounds have been left open



kiss me tonight
not because you are my escapades

you are the respite of a petrichor in my lurching deserts
