If I could take your pain away
And make your world all right
I'd give you silky kisses
And tuck you in at night

I'd sabotage the hurt inside
So you could feel my love
That pulsates through my veins
And radiates from above

Your wounds would disappear
No longer to be felt
And you would bask in love's lush light
And make my starved heart melt

With every action, word, and deed
You'd blanket me in love
Warm and cozy we would be
Like a pair of woolen gloves

Our world would finally then be one
No more hurt to bear
And from our newfound freedom
This love we then could share

Well,
I may not have many friends,
Pick my skin until it can't stop to bleed
Have a father that makes me want to kick and scream
And have anxiety
But hey,
At least the sky looks pretty!

How are you willing to give yourself to me?
I can’t seem to get close
limbs frozen solid
Im terrified to be so open

But you’re so warm
Melt me
Arms wrap and scorch my waist
******* lips
Im still so terrified.

do you feel me?
in the yawning chasm
of space
that's opened up
like a deep wound
between us.

do you feel it?
the gnawed pain
that's consumed
my heart
or what remains
of it.
