Can I Keep Him?

in the end

there was no one to see

no helicopters in the sky the next day

or the day after

no one was searching

'cause no one knew he was missing

he followed me home

can i keep him?

he followed me

a pretty boy like you

with hands that could break me in two

but don't

breaking away gently

he's still warm

and close to me

i can see tears in his eyes

and i feel better
