Work Text:
dear will,
i wish i was the tears i know you cry in the middle of the night
i wish i was born in your eyes / wish i died on your lips
it’s so dirty of me to want to be / a pretty little thing that runs down your cheek
the tears of strangers are merely water / but i feel that / you could never be far
no matter what i do / i feel i am close to you
(why are you so loyal / why are you so stupid / why do you stay / if you left would i not be this / or would i still want you)
you are familiar to me forever
you say hi mike are you there do you want to play with me i’d like to go back to before the after
i say will you’re beautiful yes i’ll play with you would you like to design the campaign with me and kiss my hand when it ends up in yours will go away i want to be with her instead we can play later i don’t want love need her like that i want love need you like that
your eyes are like salted caramel from the boardwalk / your lips are like the cherry blossom that used to be outside my window / your embrace is like a weighted blanket in a snowstorm / your laugh feels like marshmallows perfectly made / your way of saying my name is like icarus racing to kiss the sun
will hello it’s mike / why do you let people hurt you like that
will hello it’s mike / why do you worry so much about everybody else when i know you’re hiding a scar on your back that he gave you
will hello it’s mike / are you broken like me / like the window nancy broke when she was thirteen or like classrooms in world wars
will hello it’s mike / i want to love you like a boyfriend / like a husband / like somebody i’ll be buried with forever
love, mike
