velvet
you need somebody embroidered in velvet
you swear that somebody is all you need to stop seeing former lovers in the dark
you say you take daydream daytrips to suburban california because you miss the dayflowers,
but we both know it's because you miss the phenomenon of ebony veins loving golden blood
you need somebody soft
someone whose body curvature complements yours, but you know that your body doesn't quite fit with anyone else's
that's all right, maryland doesn't fit quite perfectly with virginia either
you want more than anything to have kisses on your collarbone and stitches on your heart
but darling, you are not your mother's couch pillow
there's a reason why some velvet is black
