A bubble
Shiny, fragile
Easily terrorised, fear that is magnified
Don’t stand so close
Your breath hurts my skin
Your breath hurts my bubble
And what lies within
My bubble is soft, but my bones are of steel
The question remains
Do you want to annihilate my bubble, until all you feel
All you feel is the heat of the fire from my flesh you ignited
And the smoke seeping through the cracks of a giving hand
Do you want to strip me of all that I am
Only for you to be left with embers
Embers from my steel
From the pit of a galaxy
And my unbreakable bones.

A bubble
Shiny, fragile
Easily terrorised, fear that is magnified
Don’t stand so close
Your breath hurts my skin
Your breath hurts my bubble
And what lies within
My bubble is soft, but my bones are of steel
The question remains
Do you want to annihilate my bubble, until all you feel
All you feel is the heat of the fire from my flesh you ignited
And the smoke seeping through the cracks of a giving hand
Do you want to strip me of all that I am
Only for you to be left with embers
Embers from my steel
From the pit of a galaxy
And my unbreakable bones.
