she’s vulnerable flesh carved out of velvet blood as thin as water mind as malleable as clay it appealed to you, this softness of touch in the morning of voice in your ear of bleeding heart beating you sought it out her hair as soft as silk the sunshine off her sternum her mouth parted and wet she’s beautiful the way she fits with you her hand wrapped around your own her laughter filling your silence
but without warning, her soft touch turned to a million bugs underneath your skin her voice melted into the shrillest sound at night her vulnerability withered into a weakness you couldn’t escape you tried to let her down gently as gently as she let you in but you misstepped and let her destroy herself.
