Poem: Closer to You (Than I Will Ever Be)

[buffysmglover]

I feel your skin around me.
Don't take me figuratively.
Right now my heart is bleeding.
I'm closer to you than I'll ever be.
This is your shirt around me.
Now you understand, now you can see.
Closer to you than I will ever be.

I feel your change against me.
Your fingerprints in my pocket.
Faster, my heart's not beating.
It's just money, not the apple from the tree.
You handed these coins to me.
Feel your fingerprints just above my knee.
Closer to you than I will ever be.

I feel your skin around me.
Your fingerprints in my pocket.
Right now my heart is bleeding.
It's just money, not the apple from the tree.
This is your shirt around me.
Feel your fingerprints just above me knee.
Closer to you than I will ever be.

So come and take it from me!
Give me your real flesh, not your dead skin cells.
Please, make my heart stop racing!
Bring me close to you, come closer to me.
I have your shirt around.
It's not enough to make me happy.
(stop day-dreaming)
I'm closer to you.

I feel your skin around me.
Don't take me figuratively.
Right now my heart is bleeding.
Closer to you than I will ever be.
