I want to open every fold in your brain
I want to intertwin
becoming one
as our souls mix like the water color in my palette
your stain like the paint on my fingers
the coffee in my mug.

her petals open slowly
turning pink like the blush she uses
through each petal, she reveals the bruises last season left behind.

you tear my feathers off
close the blinds
my skin turns into frost
my ears bleed
mouth full of stitches
mother.

the view is so pretty
i missed the mist beneath the sunset
devouring me
until only bones remained

as I lift my shirt
nothing but my heart and my skeleton underneath
is my flesh all that you care for

is the vessel the only way to see my soul
