Alabaster boy Unlearn the things they have told you Harsh lips and uncaring smiles The ones who hated you And the lips That were supposed To love Alabaster boy I want to untie the stitches Of the scars on your left arm Those crimson red slashed grins Taunting you Mocking you I cannot heal them But I can drown out their cries Alabaster boy You are so beautiful Carved from marble Soft as snow Warm as laughter Alabaster boy Let me undo the damage From years ago Let me kiss every inch Of your beautiful skin Let me heal With kind lips And soft eyes- Alabaster boy I will treat you With the reverence you deserve Until you can look in the mirror And see your beauty painted whole.

Alabaster Boy
Alabaster boy Unlearn the things they have told you Harsh lips and uncaring smiles The ones who hated you And the lips That were supposed To love Alabaster boy I want to untie the stitches Of the scars on your left arm Those crimson red slashed grins Taunting you Mocking you I cannot heal them But I can drown out their cries Alabaster boy You are so beautiful Carved from marble Soft as snow Warm as laughter Alabaster boy Let me undo the damage From years ago Let me kiss every inch Of your beautiful skin Let me heal With kind lips And soft eyes- Alabaster boy I will treat you With the reverence you deserve Until you can look in the mirror And see your beauty painted whole.
An old love poem.
