Closing the Wound

I ripped my soul

To show you 

Where my heart is

I tore deep 

Clawed flesh

Pulled wiry strings 

From within 

Seams that can’t be sown

Carefully together

I’ve got nothing left 

to close the gap

Nothing to say 

It’s just 

When you lean in

I taste your smile

Explode into stars 

Suspended in warm syrup 

Your fingers skim lightly

Sticking to the wound 

Don’t run 

your 

Fingers 

Along 

the 

edges 

Of 

My love

Hold me close

Pull us together
