peeling off the pictures of you under my eyelids slowly bleeding scraping off these memories from my face of your fingers gently tracing its contours your hands in my hair your sweat in my eyes I closed them only to have you slip inside my mind and stay there these hands that touched you they should be smashed, cut off at the wrists these fingers sliced away slowly for they hold your fragrance still [I hold your fragrance still] this heart that showed itself to you too soon, traitorous beating, eating inside my chest tell me how to unpeel my skin; your eyes touched everything tell me how to empty myself of all this blood that sings for you you said men burn but women, they leave easily I am burning, do not speak let me sear these wounds as I please |
