How much longer will you stay

You have barely touched my wounds
They are awaiting your attention
Many are old, some are new
Trace your fingertips around them
Get to know them
Get to know me

Keep your eyes on every part of me
I'll be embarrassed at first
But grateful in the end
Memorize all of my blemishes
Get to know them
Get to know me

I don't need a hickey tonight
Your marks are beautiful
But appreciate my own
Kiss my scars with soft lips
Get to know them
Get to know me

How much longer
