SKIN
I want out
of my skin
and to crawl
deep into yours
--warm and close,
safe.
Cowering from
the cold alone,
escaping
this bruised
and broken down
body
by curling up
into a new one.
Feeding off
the strength and beauty
that I only see
within you,
I only taste
from you.
I want to
curl up
within you,
enveloped in this
new skin,
this shared skin.
I want out
of me,
and into you.
