keep me warm

so please keep your words tender

and never lose the magic in your touch

for every time it makes me whole

i’m renewed to fight the world for you

if shaming the world fails

remember you’re my safe house

among the reasons i want to stay

so please be tender with your words

for i’ve realised i’m a sensitive boy

and never lose the magic in your voice

for it soothes my soul

treat me like your little mirror

see me as a reflection of yourself

put me down gently so i do not break

but please pick me up again

and tell me you love me

like you say to yourself

my favourite chantress, the good siren

please never let me go

even if i say so

remember you’re my home

the second reason i want to stay

one might not be enough so you’re equally as important

please be gentle with your curses

so i can romanticise your voice

and forget the things you say

and blame myself for making you swear

please never weaponise the sex

for it makes it less sacred

and exposes us to the cold world

how else do we create our own warmth?
