IS IT SAFE TO FALL?

                 I can't help but be afraid

of the way you let my name drip from your tongue

             like it's something sacred

       No one has ever looked at me like that

     without hiding a hook behind their eyes

but your hands are as sure as they are gentle

       and this time,

                         trust doesn't feels like a gamble

I haven't forgotten the things summer taught me but i would like to learn again.

is it safe to be soft

        is it safe to fall on my knees,

                                                to bare my neck?

can you teach me your bite

        without flashing your teeth?

                                       can we be hunters

                                                           without prey?
