blood poem

bend the space
for me
i don't want to be
opposite corners of the fitted sheet
don't make me have to memorize
your colors
don't want to be the one
taking minutes
because the point of being with you
is being with you.
i thought i told you
how i need your blood
how just mine pumping
doesn't push enough
and just like everything
with you is,
one drop is enough,
is all i want.
the promise i make
is to only take
what i need to keep breathing
i am someone to be lost at sea with
all of the rations are yours
except for that one drop
my love.
