his fingers
ever so slowly
dance across
my skin
tracing away
all my insecurities
warm gentle lips
kiss away
the haunting pain
that is buried
deep beneath
my skin
at first glance
does he know
who I really am
or the weight
of my existence
his words
sweet like candy
I taste
in the deepest
most fragile
parts of me
I crave more
so much more
