Skin and BloodA Poem by GoodbyeDaisy
my skin is torn
made to be worn is it keeping You warm? newborn naively smooth wear it with pride then toss it aside but is it keeping You warm? fingertips are ruined glazing over the rough of Your skin looking for spots spots i can fix patch them with piece of myself is it keeping You warm? i will obediently give You my eyes what are they good for rose coloured glass and if my ears won't listen to Your gospel there's no need for them to stay i know what You want what You need and crave wasting Your words needless fights just to confirm is it keeping You warm? You took my tongue and replaced it with someone else's someone who ran away but never escaped too scared to ask back for what is theirs only thing im able to spit out with a tongue You stole tell me is it keeping You warm? but i am at peace for You have chosen my skin to take no imperfection no deception show me the direction and i will crawl take my eyes ears and mouth there is no use if i'm destined to lose myself my skin is Yours so is my blood trivial fact accepted by science denied by gut run and hide all my nerves exposed stripped to bone completely gone but, is it keeping You warm? © 2022 GoodbyeDaisyAuthor's Note
