your family
lets me stay in the cabin
with them

im upstairs on a cot
a wooden railing
looking down at the kitchen

when your hand
reaches up to rub
my arm and wake me

i groan
hey honey, its morning. wanna lay on the couch with me? you say.

i crawl downstairs
and we lay on the couch together
i fall asleep
with your arms wrapped around me

i wake and fall
wake and fall
you smell manly
and feel warm

since i moved away
no one has held me like this
my arms craved your skin
and i was hallowed out
without your touch

im scared
scared
of leaving you
because all i want
is to stay
forever
