skin..deep

By Tania




Tender.
Skin
Bones
& coarse hair.
Love me…

..


Unexposed.
Enclosed.
Standing in doorways
laying behind walls…
Choosing to move in directions
your body never chose to walk.


Confused.

Closed eyes
& sudden movements.
Nightmare stroke
self-made tragedy..
Caught between all you wish for
and all you’ll ever see.


Distorted.

This love has turned to
dirty grey..
Confessions under skin.
Trailing bruised palms
with misused fingers..
Reading this mess
That lies within.


..







Love me…
