wouldn't it be amazing to
place a blade upon my skin
just so i can feel something
a g a i n

all
you
did
was say hello
and within that word
i could alrealdy feel the flowers
within my lungs
beginning to grow.

you told me I was nothing
compared to her,
I told you she would hurt you,
but you were too blind to understand,
and now you're crying & slowly dying,
reaching for my hand,
begging for me to give you a second chance.
sorry love.
you lost me, when those painful words spilled from your mouth, flowed through my ears,
and settled in my mind,
causing fears to reappear.
that hurt me so much,
but that's okay.
because I told you she would hurt you one day.

he was a universe wrapped in skin,
and within
every limb
there were
galaxies flowing
in him
