Skeleton (Don’t be fooled, it’s some sappy bullshit) *you have been forewarned

The cool languor
of your cold finality
and the abashed front
that you hide
beneath the mask
of a beast
I have know well
all my life
Could not deceive
a mind like mine-
Your hand that strays
my face,
it feels not out of place;
Even nice..
Touch me once again
-with your hands,
with you lips-
I lack the passion you
deny-
I can’t ascribe the
blame to someone else-
I melt in your eyes
becoming a mere
skeleton-
because your gaze
peels off my skin in layers
-like a flower unfolding-
I feel too vulnerable
I cannot let you see me
like this-
From this moment,
how can it feel this right?
