if i
embrace you
hard enough,
will it numb
the knives
you stabbed
on my back?
will the blood
quietly seep
—run down my legs,
and create
a puddle covering
our tired feet
from dragging each other
up until this point?
will my arms
slowly give
and let you go;
leaving marks of my grasp
on my skin like red vines all over it?
will my face,
my tears,
my lips,
leave an impression
on your chest
creating a braille
only your blind heart
could understand?
will my embrace
be enough
for you to stay?

guys, ive been feeling a lot lately and as a writer i have never felt so hurt reading my own piece unlike this one.
i read an article recently about how braille is applied in our daily lives for the convenience of our visually impaired folk so i added a little bit of it to this piece
