don't you grow up on me, slow up on me
Fractions of me are falling for parts of you.
The fraction of me that;
yearns to be held.
The part of you that;
gently holds me.
The fraction of me that;
wants to be heard.
The part of you that;
whispers into my soul.
The fraction of me that;
fatigues my skeletal and smooth muscles.
Cardiac muscle;
She never jades.
She never ceases to survive.
She doesn’t capitulate to me.
Maybe, just maybe:
You’re why.
The part of you that’s growing on me:
Electric.
Slow up on me.
The fraction of me that's scared to be;
Divested,
Vulnerable,
Naked,
Exposed.
Guard down.
The part of you that;
Endures,
Touches,
Communicates,
Feels every inch of my bones and cors.
Slow up on me.
But maybe, just maybe:
Don’t.
