Forever the white silk sheets shield my sleepy eyes Under the turning turning     of the night           Pull over           Stay close Away from the light And into the night My cave, my home White silk walls I choose to know Only this I will grapple, I will cling With chipped nails And cracked hands They have only known myself When I sleep They have only known myself When I sleep     Awaken Under white silk sheets And no one will see     But me     But me Shield my sleepy eyes

White silk sheets
I need your arms Like a cocoon So I can emerge each morning With colourful wings Delicate, free My weakness is my strength When I spread about my brittle structure and my softness surrounds you Be gentle with my wings for they Are quietly weak and the silent strength of loving is not enough If you grasp me too roughly Or hold me for too long I might crunch beneath your human bones I am only small

Cover me up Plaster my face with leaves Cover my closed eyes With two round roses Smother me so I'm swimming in leaves and dirt. It's in my bones It's in my blood My body leaks love. I am a soft shell so This is love When you cover me up With leaves Protect me from the world Put me to sleep Rest my eyes under Red roses Smother me so I'm bathing   In leaves and dirt So my heart can be be still and silent with the earth.

Cover me up
The clouds are plastic, Plastered to the sky, Synthetic blue, Fragile behind. The sun is always burns, Our tiny worlds turn, We peer through mirrors To gaze at our creation.

Clouds
Odd Obscure Pale in the moonlight you were    from the start A ghostly figure     hovering in the corner But the glow of your red fire     made your company warm Passionate     you are But numb     Feeling so much you feel nothing. Wanting so much        your hands remain empty. Don't think I don't know you And why your heart turns cold I'm sorry you met me in innocence    Only to see me turn to this This is not me I whisper slowly This is not me I whisper again I'm growing frantic      You draw Into the corner      Ghostly again Repulsed by my skin      I am human We only just became close. And who are you? This question turns your eyes to moonlit diamonds in the dark         piercing me with a stare As if to say Who are you to ask?

Ghost
So I'll let my love for you abundantly flow, I'll feel the same wherever you go. Still sweeping the ash from where my heart sparked alive under the stars, under the stars. My chest is sore, you've made me raw, I can't break out of this skin. Let me go, let me go, let me go. I am frozen in the vastness, so far from you. Though the bitter taste in my mouth might fade, I'll miss you, I'll miss you. Always your skin in the moonlight. Always madness.

My skin is not mine I am repulsed by my flesh In the dark You cover me I disappear We blend into each other I am repulsed by my flesh In the dark How can you stand my scent? If I hold you at arms length Will you see how I rot? Will you see how I burn for gratification, for validation, for a sense of worth? I ache to be awakened from this state of ghostly death, for fingertips to spring alive the paleness of skin, numbness of breath I cannot touch myself I cannot stare in the glass Or I will become a murderer I am repulsed by my flesh In the dark

Skin
You loom over me, My cooling shadow. My gentle storm, You submerge me. I disperse as tiny grains In your ocean, Washed up from the sand Where I once lay as a stone. You, protector of my tenderness, Shelter me from the heat above. You loom over me, My cooling shadow.

Gentle Storm
When I lie with you I breathe with you. Then we are bound together In the silence. Then I am the vines around you. Then we shudder together Under shivering sunlight Then we are alive together In the warmth of our shrine.

Shiver
clawing between soft sheets I find your large hands clasping through the gaps to find my softer inner parts little do you know I am crumbling though I give you the power to tear what I forbid myself to surrender Create art with my ****** mess. I know you never will It is sad that you are gone but I am waiting, gluing my self back together, trying to find the bits and pieces I've shed in this process of stabbing and grabbing and itching newness of youthful closeness and the fusion of two.
