Soldier,
I still taste him on my lips and breathe him in my lungs.
When he undresses, he tattooed from wrists to neck.
He used to be my very own masterpiece,
Pinned against the bedroom wall.
When he smiles,
He's all dimples and his brown green eyes are wild.
When he laughs,
He shakes his head and bites his lip and I won't ever forget the sound.
And I think he's perfect,
And the way his breath feels hot against my neck makes my body tremble.
And I love him so goddamn fucking much,
Always have, always will.
And it doesn't matter how much I try to make him understand…
He won't. Or can't.
He takes my heart to war in June, he comes back with it broken in two.
He gives back one piece and keeps the other and even when I try,
I can't get it back.
I wonder if it's gone for good,
Trapped up there in his bedroom, seventh floor.
In a dream I have we stand pressed together in a kitchen
I can't recognize,
And my heart is kept in a gold band on a finger on his left hand.
And I dream it so much I swear it must come true.
House by the sea,
Him + me.
I still taste him on my lips and breathe him in my lungs.
When he undresses, he tattooed from wrists to neck.

Pinned against the bedroom wall.
