Candles
April 5, 2012
Take me
and break me
with those hands of yours
so rough so calloused
on my sallow skin
because I just want
you to touch me
just touch me
enlighten me
set fire crackers off on my skin
let me be myself again
and I’ll be ok
ok
ok
ok
but no matter how I say it
those words don’t sound right
from this mouth of mine
that cannot even breathe
like a fire that slowly
died
away
