Would you believe me if I say your words shatter me?
Complete in my awe
I walk away
I am used to walking away from everything that moves me
As though I can afford to be shattered only once
To witness you in close quarters and be broken again and again
Is as beautiful as it is, frightening.
Dig a trench in my heart
Where I can hide some semblance of sanity and self away
Because this could be war
My body riddled with holes where you have reached me too sharp and too fast
I allow myself to be in this line of fire
Where gentle touches could burn like acid
While deluding you into believing
That you are growing new skin
