Just a book I've read

At first glance 

A pretentious, hypocrite

With a disposition to be horny

 

Elio Elio Elio

 

Twisting words so compelling 

Make me feel for you 

Feel with you

Empathy

 

Elio Elio 

 

Why do you yearn 

For a man with little love 

And none to give

Not permanently 

Never indefinite 

 

elio

 

You caught me 

somewhere in the words

You weave them well

I’d be your elio

I’ll let you 

Call me by your name

 

Oliver

 

If it would please you 

If it makes me more 

Than so and so 

Fucked and forgotten

I'll call you by his name

In more than lust
