The quickest way to a man's heart really is through his stomach, that way you don't have to chop through the pesky ribcage.

Loving you
is a waste of time
Telling you
is a waste of breathe
Touching you
is tempting but the penalty
is death
Watching you
is dangerous
you tend to catch my eye
you frown a bit
you ask me "what?"
as if you don't know why
Arguing is tricky
You can counter all my quips
I tend to get distracted
when I'm looking at your lips

Inspired by my ex boyfriend who gives me a death glare when I get too close and who has told me on multiple occasions if I touch his hair he will kill me.
