In the Space Between

In the Space Between

You seem to fit perfectly in the space between

The left ear

and crevice of the neck

Warm breath tickling,

Goosebumps rise quickly

Arm hooked over, cradling

Insecurities.

You seem to fit perfectly in the space between

Swollen breast

Swollen breast and smooth torso

Wisps of your hair scattered across my chest,

Hand splayed across the belly, calming

Nervousness.

You seem to fit perfectly in the space between

Shoulder blade

And curled up thigh

Lips puckered and asleep against my freckles,

Leg meeting mine, warming

Loneliness.
