straight to my heart

I'm just a mess of scribbled veins sprawled incoherently
entwined in the most illegible love letter you'll ever read

I'm secret smiles hidden behind dirty palms
hesitant kisses after the sun has gone
since I'm always worried I'll do something wrong

but I'm the girl who is in love with you
&& your oceanic arteries swallowing every breath I take
or the way the constellations have collected on your cheekbones
&& the earthquakes that rumble through your bones
&& straight to my heart
since no one else has ever moved me this way

this is how you became the whole world to me.
