Glide your fingers slowly across my skin
The feeling like rose petals upon my grave
Something beautiful to heal this nightmare.
Make me feel whole again
Just for a little while
Until that feeling is gone.
Matteo Palermo Sep 2018
Everyday
It eats away at me more and more.
Like some type of beautiful parasite.
The words I’m aching to say will never come
Rip them out of me
Make me say
What I cannot.

We shared the apple in the garden of eden.
But I’ll never regret that bite

I'll hold your hand until you let go.
The tighter you hold on the longer I'll stay.
But to be honest if our hands lost grip
I'd still stay.
My hands are forever intertwined in yours.
Even if your small fingertips lose touch
I will stay.
I will be mindful of the color or your nails.
And the tremble of your hands from nervousness.
When you let go
just remember
I'll be waiting for you.

I’ll close my eyes
And hope
The empty space
In my bed
Is you
That thought
Is the only thing
That helps me sleep at night

The petals on your roses have long fell off.
I’ll be there to plant new seeds.
My flowers have decayed.
But yours will bloom.
I just hope we can share the same water
When even if I’m dying.
The stained red petals on your roses will bring me back to life.
