Tissue

Your skin must stroke along the grain,
your eyes must always agree.
Your curves must be straightened,
your voice must warm the frozen.
Your legs must keep a secret,
your fingers must remember.

Your lust must be expensive,
your secrets must really hurt.
Your vessel must always be dry
your heart has to have been caught.

Your dreams must be within reach,
your future must be enormous.
Your life must feel like a sun,
your closeness must be a lonely place to be.

Your skin has to push away,
your desire must never have been given away.
Your back must lead to something beautiful,
your hands lead me away.

Your tail must be a work of art,
your mouth is a perfect frame.
You must see me and hate
you have to stare and laugh.
You have to be the onem
you must always, always say no.

I want you to pity yourself
feel more pity for me.
You will paint your disgust with words
you must throw them in my face.
You will hit me with a mirror,
you will give me what I don't deserve.

You will sneer, you will tear, you will be sick.
I will cry and scream,
you will never stop.
I will reach out and give you all I have,
you will scoff and throw it away.

You will yell and scream and smile and leave.
You will remember and you'll feel ill,
you will become the world's finest.

You will remember, become the one people remember.

A hole in your skin, I look out
for once in my life I get to see
faces looking up at something beautiful.
