Never mine, never mind

by kriti-gupta

My keyboard remembers your name better than I remember the pain I lie awake at night fearing no one will ever know my veins There’s still a part of me that’s disappointed you never changed And I keep telling myself, in another life..? Maybe that time, I’ll come out with the right skin type But this was it, there is no another universe No matter how much I try to kid myself This is all we had, all I could give you And it wasn’t enough I didn’t want to beg, but I did I know you felt it, I came to my knees, Longing, aching Please, please, love my dirty skin.
