Torch Line
I am so fucking open
open but tired
of the razor blades
to my heart
when I am asking you
over and over
please don't touch me
that way,
not with your words
or anything else
because every time you do
it sets me on fire all over again
I am a paste of blood and ash
right now
what I really need
is for you to honor this line
if you love me the way I've loved you
-this line right here-
don't cross it
so trust can be born again.
