Tell me what you want me to be.
Like a costumed character on Halloween
I will dress up and pretend,
wear a skirt and make up with my hair down
if that’s what gets you wet,
if that’s what makes you forget
I’m not really what you want any other day of the year.
I wish I was Florence Welsh,
a single digit torso, all legs and a holy smile.
You said you could orgasm waiting for her new album,
I’ve never wanted to be anything more than one of her songs since then.
I want to be Ani Difranco,
five feet of brilliance, biceps and soul.
You think she’s sexy
and I’d trade the summation of my best traits to be any synonym of that
when your eyes trip over me instead
like a stone in the sand that for a moment appeared to be a shell.
The entire night sky lit up by the stars and moon
cannot compete with your eyes lit up by excitement or too many beers
and there’s no place on earth I ever want to be more
than on the receiving end of them.
What would I have to do for the roles to reverse?
For you to want me so bad that you can’t sit still in a room?
I want you to look at me like a pastry inside a platter
when you’ve just ordered salad.
I want to watch you swallow your craving like a utensil eaten,
trailing the last morsel of a meal that left your stomach feeling empty.
I dare you to walk an hour inside my longing,
like a marathon of hot coals and bare feet.
… to run faster than my mind, around you
like a greyhound trying to catch a mechanical lure.
I want to watch you, without feeling like a creep.
To be allowed, within the confines of a post coital gaze
or first thing in the morning, waking survey.
I want to love you without feeling shame,
without being sure you would never say it back
once I told.
Tell me what you want.
All I wanna be is that… _________________ shemovesme.wordpress.com

Hiya Brach, always happy to see a new one of yours. Firstly, just being technical I think there is a mistake in the last line... you might want to edit that.
Secondly....don't get me wrong, you know how I adore the way you wangle words and create little home movies inside my head when I read them, but please NEVER EVER try and change you you are, never even WANT to change, so someone else will love you. It never works, I promise you While you are pining over the unattainable, the person who will love you for exactly WHO you are now might be walking past, looking back forlornly at you, looking back forlornly at the unattainable.

Good catch MG. And believe me I know, I'm just writing about this angle of it to move it out of my head for a moment. I do appreciate your kind words just the same. _________________ shemovesme.wordpress.com

brachingritualz... My this is.. 'I want to watch you swallow your craving like a utensil eaten,
trailing the last morsel of a meal that left your stomach feeling empty. ' This is accurate... But in agreement never alter.. You are insightful, intelligent and one that seems genuinely beautifully spirited... Simply _________________ ....Take Care....

I've always thought you have the sexiest angst ever. Some day before I die I'm going to drive up the Eastern seaboard and jump you.
