role reversal



hands behind my head,
feet crossed at my ankles
i will watch football
and answer all your questions
with my eyebrows.
you will not take a hint
but snuggle right beside me
and murmur some nonsense
into my ear, kiss it
and assume i want more
because i will turn my head away.
you comfort me, calm me,
i like the stillness inside you,
your wandering hands
are a tad annoying
but I will let you explore
nevertheless. can’t you see,
you are my escape,
you are my haven,
and i just want to rest.
