i don't want to sleep or go out today because i'd rather spend my time with you

i play with your body
like a 5 year old
with the teddy bear
that he was given
at his birth.
fingertips.

you hold me
like a newborn,
and whisper words
into my ear
with your tongue,
which protect me
from  myself
while we are
under
a spaceman themed blanket
watching cartoons
at 3am.

you tell me,
"we don't need the world,
we need each other."
and i imagine
falling asleep
in your arms
even after
we become
skeletons.
