I’ve got:
Horns for thoughts; and feelings that are for the vague
Glass for eyes, their tears are just old memories of dreams
A nose exhaust, blowing hot smoke to cool off the engine
A beard of grass; hoping the waters of time helps it grow

I’ve got:
A void for a smile; a darkness that quietly hides away in the pit
Quiet lips made out of violin strings; a humble refrain to play
A mighty sword for words, with a bold voice so cutthroat
And each breath is ******; being an inch of one’s lost vanity

I’ve got:
Wrists like a heavy grey cloud; a sleeve that can easily bleed
Fingers made of needles; an unfortunate hold pinned to the present
Denim for skin; the dyed hues of generations stuck in my genes
Moss for a heart; a love only by the surface- no seeds to grow

I’ve got:
Bones made out of dust; can’t clean the stain of sin by myself
Ginger in my soul; aromatic- filled with a vigour of liveliness
But this body is so meagre; so eager to find new means to grow
But I don’t own a piece of it, at all- I’ve borrowed it for a time,
An agreement with life; as sleep is the middleman and death
Is the Great debt collector…

My eyes were on my hands
My freckles upgraded to bumps
My nails dug in my face
My elbows had replaced my knees

My kidneys swapped places
My hips found a home in my chest
My teeth bit at my skull
My whole spine flipped upside down

My brain dropped to my feet
My heart, soon enough, took its place
And I ran from my fate
Racing against what was unknown

Men ‘love’ with their Muscles 
Women with their hearts
This leads to some confusion
When sharing body parts!

When ***** asks ******
“Are you coming out to play?”
She wants some kind of guarantee
He’ll not just ******, then run away! 

When he presents his love stick
Pretty it is not!
So, if a girl accepts it
She must like you a lot! 

So tidy up your quiver bone
Keep your flesh tower fresh
Spice up your wee sausage
She’ll sort out the rest!

…your eyes
and the way they linger on my face
the way they sparkle
the way they tell things your mouth can’t
just like "i love you" or "i hate you"
just like "leave me alone" or "i need you"

…your hands
and the way the graze on my skin
the way they touch me here and there
the way yours dominates mine

…your voice
and the way it creates waves in my ears
the way happiness emanates from it
the way you ramble and how it makes sense to me
the way your voice shakes when you want to say those words

…your lips
and the way it touches mine
the way it quirks up
the way they fit on mine
the way it turns crimson
when you go harsh on mine

you
you, you, you
it’s always you
and the way you make me feel things
i have never before
the way you run in my head
along with the clandestine thoughts

it’s always the way
you’re you

i'll give you my  bones,
and help you make the house.

i'll give you my mind,
so you can decorate it as a room and sleep.

i'll give you my skin
to make cradle for the children inside you.

i'll give you my hair,
to make blankets to keep yourself warm.

i'll give you my bodyparts,
to make the furniture in your new house.

i'll give you my lips,
to lull your nightmares to sleep.

i'll give you my eyes,
so you can make the clouds in your house,
that will cry when ever you are sad.

My lungs are collapsing,
My breath is growing short,
My mind is relapsing.

My feelings are caving in,
My heart is beating slow,
My face is craving for your skin.

My eyes are fixated on  your lips,
My hand wanting to be intertwined with yours,
My body longs for you to caress my hips.

My nose loves the smell of your cologne,
My ears can't help but hear a ringing in the distance,
My mouth hates the way you say "I'm sorry to leave you alone".

— The End —
