I’m covered in the foggy mist
Of your warm shower at midnight
You draw outlines on my flat surface
Dozily in the diffused yellow light
I don’t hear the hums and beats
No moves and theatrics today
Furrowed are brows and eyes look deeper
You’ve kept me waiting all day
Let me listen once more to the song
you’ve recently come to like
Tell me more about that crush of yours
oblivious and spectacularly unalike
Brush your hair with that nonchalant fury
complain of the frizz & greys
Speak achingly of your ageing skin
And times you’ve lost away
Let me hearken your deepest sorrows
And regrets behind the truces
Unleash the wrath of your unsettled mind
And shed the worldly excuses
Let me see your naked soul
All the scars and abrasions one by one
Let me be the affectionate touch you seek
Or the door to chapters undone
I can be your escape
or the destination
You can be my stranger
or my most revered book
Take my hand and hold it loose
Or tight if you like
Show me your craziness & imprudence
With all your might & delight
You don’t have to play nice with me
You don’t always have to make sense
Just let me see you smile more often
And comfort you when you’re tense
Just let me stay, will you.
