The puckered skin is healing it will stain my skin like the other two reminders of the shame I felt the pain inside and the war that was going on in my head The puckered skin is healing raw skin showing pink in colour soft to the touch The puckered skin reopens spilling its content emptying my mind startling clarity The puckered skin reminds me of days where I felt the world was against me of days where my heart and mind were too full filling me with a fire I could not extinguish The puckered skin will heal The puckered skin will heal The puckered skin will heal and once again my heart will spill ovals of puckered sin ovals of puckered skin

The puckered skin is healing it will stain my skin like the other two reminders of the shame I felt the pain inside and the war that was going on in my head The puckered skin is healing raw skin showing pink in colour soft to the touch The puckered skin reopens spilling its content emptying my mind startling clarity The puckered skin reminds me of days where I felt the world was against me of days where my heart and mind were too full filling me with a fire I could not extinguish The puckered skin will heal The puckered skin will heal The puckered skin will heal and once again my heart will spill ovals of puckered sin ovals of puckered skin

‘You’re so wet for me baby’ they say ‘You’re not saying no’ Rinse repeat It hurts I say ‘That’s normal ‘ It is what it is what it is what it is My words stop ‘You’re so quiet’ they say If I unzip my abused vocal chords I won’t be able to stop the noise Keening screaming bursting like a dam It’ll fill up my head My ******* bone marrow Where do I begin and where do you end flush against me I am good at being quiet I am good at being small I am good at being needed I am good at pleasing others I am good at saying yes when I mean; Stop Get me out You are choking me I can’t breathe There is blood on my teeth On my hands I held you after you assaulted me for the first time and you told me about what was plaguing your mind So I comfort you Rinse repeat Tell you I’ve got you through gritted teeth Is that so bad is that so bad I am needed so why is it so ******* bad You fill my lungs acrid and burning Inhale exhale Inhale exhale Wd and vcka coat your lips like a gaudy lipgloss Wash away the taste of you Clean my teeth with dettol Empty my veins clean the dirt and grime away Trying to forget the way you coat my teeth Your mouth is so good baby’ you say It is bad honey and expired milk It is not being touched since It is not sleeping It is wanting to be held but being terrified of the thought To be held is to be vulnerable Split me open Look inside

Mexican food from that joint near your dads The pooling spotty blood on my bitten lips My mothers words My fathers driving Sadness is The look she gave me when I told her what he did to me The burn marks on my hips Fogged up glasses Cheap ***** Smoking a cigarette all the way down to the end Joy is His laugh The way the baby hair on my arms stand up when it’s cold and I feel alive Italian food made together Olive jars Macs soft ears

Mexican food from that joint near your dads The pooling spotty blood on my bitten lips My mothers words My fathers driving Sadness is The look she gave me when I told her what he did to me The burn marks on my hips Fogged up glasses Cheap ***** Smoking a cigarette all the way down to the end Joy is His laugh The way the baby hair on my arms stand up when it’s cold and I feel alive Italian food made together Olive jars Macs soft ears

I love you. Have you eaten ? I love you. How did that assignment go in the end ? I love you. There’s kombucha in the fridge I love you. There’s this song I think you’ll like I love you. Did you get home okay? I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

What's in a word? A touch? A secret shared? We are weighed down by our vices You sleep so you don't have to think You keep busy so that you don't have the opportunity to think What's in a word when words are all you have. People talk too much

You stare up at me with those hungry eyes, drinking me in. Those rose-bud lips parted, breathless. I will never get enough of your honey sweet nectar. Everytime we undress I find a new freckle, a new undiscovered place. Tracing the valleys of your hips, your waist. Chest heaving, I open myself for you

Hunger

You stare up at me with those hungry eyes, drinking me in. Those rose-bud lips parted, breathless. I will never get enough of your honey sweet nectar. Everytime we undress I find a new freckle, a new undiscovered place. Tracing the valleys of your hips, your waist. Chest heaving, I open myself for you

I crave our touch more than I crave the fullness. My arms reach out for you when you're not by my side. Head on my chest, body under mine. I like it when you look at me in that fascinating way. Examining me so intensly you come undone by my touch. Shudder and bloom. I ache for you.

Bloom around me

I crave our touch more than I crave the fullness. My arms reach out for you when you're not by my side. Head on my chest, body under mine. I like it when you look at me in that fascinating way. Examining me so intensly you come undone by my touch. Shudder and bloom. I ache for you.
