you said my name\nlike it was breakable\n\npressed your thumb\ninto the soft part of my wrist\nwhere the pulse lives\n\ni wanted to tell you\ni've been carrying this body\nlike stolen goods\n\nwanted to say\ntouch me harder\nmake it evidence\n\nbut you were so careful\ntracing the parts of me\ni've learned to hide\n\nand i think\nthat's the cruellest thing.\nbeing held\nlike i might bruise\n\nwhen i'm already\nall the colours of it
if you held me like a wound • Opuss № I
