Unpluck my petals why dont you
Whilst I watch you over there
And I’ll catch a glance of the sun-
set right in front of me
So careful
Not to stare
You could pour me a drink
Whilst I attempt to untie my tongue
You could
Catch me
Before it ripens my words
Catch me
Before those words tease my throat
Catch me
Before all thoughts begin to poise and sting
The compression of my lungs
Oh -
I know I come off armoured
and sometimes a littkd cold
I’ll wear pretences of untouchable
Playing the part of somebody bold
But inside I’m a mere child
A real fiend for attention
Act as if nothing phases me
But really,
So hungry for your affection
And I feel like it’s been
One such long tiresome night
I toss and I’ll turn
Inhale your caramel
Just to linger in your burn
But though the stars I thought had aligned
From echoing tidal seas
"In this life you have to be chosen, mi amor"
and the catch of the day was always that
The one that you adore was her
never me
Still
I’ll keep that thread of you inside my palm
The one began etching in June
Stubborn as I am, I admit
there’s always another lesson to be learnt
Before reemerging from my spiral
my mind
my
cocoon
No
I am not misshapen
It’s just,
You are somebody else’s gift
And no matter how many times I try
"You cannot enter a locked door,
When you are not the key that fits"
