Let me bare your bones beneath my skin <br />I want to feel what you feel <br />I itch to unfasten the wounds you bind with safety pins <br />Your unbearable sorrows, the cuts so deep delaying time of its heal <br />If you promise to lay with me sweetheart I'll forgive your unholy sins <br />The unforgivable acts fueled from amphetamines which distorted the real <br />I want to locate every freckle, mark and scar that you carry on your skin <br />I want to see the vulnerable you, the hidden you, that your God sent smile conceals <br />If you ever changed the way you looked at me i'm not entirely sure I'd survive <br />If you know but only one thing darling before we both die <br />No amount of eloquent words I piece together will tell you <br />It's you that keeps me alive<br /><br />Jade Deakins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wounds/
