Hearts from Shotgun Pillowcase by Terry Lee Hale

Hearts

Close- so close
He never looks at me
But I hope to be close
A phone call, digital ping
X’s and O’s, add them up such a little thing
Please ring
Turn me into a thing
Close

Inside- I want to be inside her
Besides ok but better off inside her
But she doesn’t see
Looks away and I’m shy
But ok I still try
I want her and inside

Touch, just touch
I want to touch and be touched
With his body
I dream his body
He’s not rich but he sings
With wings and things
And little toe rings
That sing and sing
Touch

Hearts- 2 hearts
Such fragile things
Beating in parts
Hearts- say it- hearts
She never looks at me
But I know she knows I'm here
Because I'm driving nails into her stubborn forehead
Hearts

Trust, truth, touch and hearts
Him and her and them in parts
