Will I see you

Hold me once more

Delicate 

Like petals on the doorstep

Don't step inside

My rosebud nose

Was only made to smell the sweet scents of life

Not your rancid breath

Or decaying tongue 

Talking will come later

Not now

Let me pretend you love me

Imagine that you'll hold me

Once more

Soft 

Like flowers on my instep 

Growing up my thigh

Maybe if i hold my breath 

Our dead oxygen will stop mingling

And I can pretend you are as lovely as the flowers

Crushed beneath our feet
