You are only lovely when I allow it:
When I let you out to trace the times
Your perfect puzzle-piece body
Sat home with mine;
Quiet hands on your chest
And on your stomach,
Breathing closer;
Holding tighter to muffle
The 'nails in skin'
Sort of **** that was
Held at a distance
You are only lovely when I allow it:
When I let you out to suffer the nights
You were left alone with my mood
You are only lovely when I allow it:
When I let you out to worry
As you hold together -
I sink into my crawl space
Pushing the rubble to the top
You are only lovely when I allow it:
When I let you out to relive and to relove
The way I should have
