Still Want To Feel

I used to bite my tongue,
In the midst of awkward conversation
Then I found you, a treasure
Underneath the oceans
You didn’t hesitate to touch
With my tarnished edges,
And fragile surface,
You still want to feel
My suitcases are full of nothing,
No pants, no shirt, no clothes
But you let me wear my smile so well
A crooked grin with coffee stained teeth
But you kiss me just the same
You still want to feel me
