Just a boy
Just a boy
Just a kiss
Just a touch
Just a fuck
Just a moment
Just a mistake
Just a second one
Just a third
Just got better
Just got worse
Just a promise
Just a lie
Just five years
Just one last time
Just a final goodbye.
Canvas
My lips were your canvas
Wrapping me up to capture
Your strokes were perfectly executing my fears
Though my mind was shallow
You retrieved the wholeness in me
With every color I became more aware
Of the touch that woke me out of the trance I had been locked into
This portrait you created of me
Was how you saw me
And how I can see myself now
After she was gone I felt nothing
Walking around as a shell of a person
Someone that wasn't even me
They were my bones that no longer held my body
But then you came
You held my broken hands in yours
Mending their frailness
You chased away all the monsters that burrowed inside me
You told me what I never heard
That it was okay
You made everything okay
Your warmth spread through my frozen body
Enticing me with things I've never felt
It was you that saved me
Not me that saved you
I will never forget twenty-two
