Crack me open
Raw
Exposed
Display the flesh
Portray the bone
Sketch a picture of my face
In ink that cannot be erased
I write my life across your skin
I write my soul across your flesh
Keep them safe
Don't blur the lines
Or else I will forget
The story of my travels in your skin
Whether suffering, saintly, pain or sin
Across you body
I put these words
Feeling
Expression
Unseen and unheard
You never turn away my tongue
Your listening ear you lend it
I lock my soul between your bones
And trust you to defend it
You never close your eyes to my pain
Pity?
You can't feel it
My life name wrapped in your arms
You keep my secrets behind locked jaws
No one knows me like you do
And I love it
