I don’t need you
to save me,

I need you to
cut me open,

Bleed out
all the darkness
I’ve been withholding
and tell me it’s okay
to be broken

Find my scars
lovely,
and don’t try to
kiss them away

Wrap up my bones
with kind words and
don’t let me forget
that feeling doesn’t
always mean
pain.

- S.G.
