my hips are wide-set healthy, life-bearing, soft enough to set a child upon to check drawers shut in the kitchenette my lips are a full, ruddy pink perfect to keep pursed in a thoughtless silent pout to be kissed when opened my ******* shape me into an hourglass a treble clef in a red dress my hair is now long enough to draw back from my face long enough for a mans work roughened hands to run through too bad i will crop it short again the second i see the sharp gleam of scissors too bad the only hands that will ever touch me will only ever be as soft as my own too bad i wrap my chest in gauze until my shirts lie flat too bad i will not be silent, will draw blood if you come close enough to my teeth too bad i will never miss a moon of blood until my body no longer has any more blood to give too bad i will not be consumed by the mouths of the underserving, and the only life my body will serve shall be my own.

m-i-n-e, mine
my hips are wide-set healthy, life-bearing, soft enough to set a child upon to check drawers shut in the kitchenette my lips are a full, ruddy pink perfect to keep pursed in a thoughtless silent pout to be kissed when opened my ******* shape me into an hourglass a treble clef in a red dress my hair is now long enough to draw back from my face long enough for a mans work roughened hands to run through too bad i will crop it short again the second i see the sharp gleam of scissors too bad the only hands that will ever touch me will only ever be as soft as my own too bad i wrap my chest in gauze until my shirts lie flat too bad i will not be silent, will draw blood if you come close enough to my teeth too bad i will never miss a moon of blood until my body no longer has any more blood to give too bad i will not be consumed by the mouths of the underserving, and the only life my body will serve shall be my own.
