Please Come

Please come 
I promise I’ll open them wider 
The doors I mean 
I’ll spread the word to my legs
So I sit still and wait on you to come 

I’ll hug you tighter 
I will not scream but my breath will be so loud
Like items you lost and found 
I’ll grab on you tighter 

My heartbeat will give yours clues  and signals you to enter 
I promise that is my answer 
Until you come , until you come to your senses 
I’ll hold you captive
Soft or harder 

Permission I grant you
Do as you please 
Without letting me pledge my sanity 
I promise wet kisses 
Please let it be now before my words  
Lose their warranty 

I promise to handle you with care 
I know you not entirely mine
Trust with that I’m fine 
Please come
