[text ID: 1. You wrap your name tight around my ribs / And keep me warm. I was born for you. 2. You're the only friend I need / Sharing beds like little kids / Laughing 'til our ribs get tough / But that will never be enough 3. Bone of my bones. Were you taken from my rib? You must have been, or maybe I was made from yours. And God damn, I want it. I want back inside you. I want you now, same as I wanted you before. 4. At last, at last / Bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last 5. Get a little closer, let fold / Cut open my sternum, and pull / My little ribs around you 6. Some nights his thumb is the moon / nestled just under her rib. 7. everyone is terrified of your heart reaching through your ribs. everyone is terrified of the way you love like an open door. 8. But, but. Sometimes you still wonder how it ouwld have felt to hold his hand, to trace the curve of his spine. Sometimes you still hold his secrets in the gaps between your lower ribs, like tiny stars waiting to erupt. end ID]
