you don't have to take your shoes off

hey there I was just thinking

when we get there

don't look at the cables behind the television stand

just look at my eyes

there are spaces where pictures hung so

don't look at the walls

just listen to me talk

if you go into the kitchen

don't see the dishes in the sink

just look at the spice rack or the tiles i put up

nice

in the bathroom there's an air freshener

don't look at the floor or behind the toilet

just be surprised how good it smells

in the bedroom there's laundry folded on an ironing board

don't mind the mess

just bring your face over here i want to smell it

look at my eyes again

don't look in

just look at the brown part

the irises

my eyes do this thing when your face moves close to mine

the black gets bigger

you're so close

closer than most

and i'm thinking about the cluttery table covered in mail

don't look at the cluttery table - that’s the edge of a whirlpool

just like my insides

circling debris and now it’s faster and there's nothing at the center and it’s pulling you in and my eyes are all black now 

don’t look at them

just look at your phone

this was nice let's do this again sometime
