back bruises

pull yourself together
cos you're falling apart
emerging on the inside
cos the outside is getting dark

touching touching touching
like a babe without a care
my skin crawls with your acid
when we lie together bare

your lips are lined with parentheses
i trace with my scarred hands
baby, won't you stay with me
as we melt into the sand

what the fuck was this about,

i taste it as it inches down my throat
but it's just so hard to cope
it chains me
holds me to the past

again
i knew the warmth wouldn't last
