snakelips over hot teeth gnashing
in white. biblical in its shape around
the thighs. hopefully? hot breath
mintgum tongue with pinkred blood.
your brother’s in jail? anyone breaks you
and I’ll be there too, can’t blame
lips glossed in sugar for tasting like
berries and cream. tiktok trash?
call me a garbage can
ceramic toes on beige apartment
walls with cigarette ghosts in a backdrop
join me on the corner pillows, drench the white
in beast of flailing limbs, soft backs timed in
sandclock, lines on entreated breasts
inviting feed, oh baby, oh maybe
frills in your outfit with black flares
dark hand holding phone like a torch to liberty
piece by piece, shipped from paradise
thigh tattoos on discord sowing discord
wide lips under soft eyes with cleopatra flourish
I’ll die for you!!!! dm me?
