Body

You’re no longer in your own skin
You’re the air that lifts my chest
Reckless bravery lets you flow inside the blood that colors my cheeks
Don’t you move your hands
I like them where they are
Ahhh before you leave me as a scar
Pull back the sleeve from arm
Carve you right into me
All of the marks you leave
On my body
Abandoned my cares like the rocks I toss into the riverbed
Trusting you with all I locked in
Secrets I kept in my head
So don’t you move your hands
I like them where they are
Ahhhh before you leave me as a scar
Pull back my sleeve from my arm
Carve you right into me
All of the marks you leave
So don’t you move your hands
I like them where they are
Ahhhh before you leave me as a scar
Pull back my sleeve from my arm
Carve you right into me
All of the marks you leave
On my body
You’re the book my mother read me back when I was almost three
I won’t cry now that you left me
Your fingerprints are still blaring
On my body
On my body
On my body
On my body
