Salvagers
I wish to crawl
Underneath your
Forlorn flesh.
To find the letters
That your demons sent.
All I gather
Is just dust and chatter.
Blood as cold as
Heartbroken stares.
I cannot fix you from the inside, love
But I can try to kiss you
We’ll see if you can feel it.
I cannot break the brick walls
That capture you
But I can wade my fingers in your
Midnight hair while
We breathe slowly, or try to.
Will you let me heal you?
Let me rinse the infected wounds
Under your skin,
It’s okay to be broken,
But it’s better to be whole,
Trust me love,
The world is beautiful
If your heart is free of rust.
