My head was against your swollen petals My hands were through your thorns Your cross was cold, against my chest When my spine straightened, I could see the reflection of my hope in your eyes. When your cross went down my thighs, it only made me realize that my hope may never die. It was too bad you withheld my heart when it melted through your fingertips.

Tatted, forgotten love.
My head was against your swollen petals My hands were through your thorns Your cross was cold, against my chest When my spine straightened, I could see the reflection of my hope in your eyes. When your cross went down my thighs, it only made me realize that my hope may never die. It was too bad you withheld my heart when it melted through your fingertips.
First hidden love with an older man. Written at 17 years of age.
