Paste

I paste your name all over my skin

Words cover places clothes should’ve been

Rather than molding around my frame

My skin perfectly fits your name

I trace the bumps and curves of you

The letters remind me of the boy I once knew

He was sweet, and soft, and selfless, and kind

First to hold doors and carefully inclined

He was as bright as a star, the first to his feet

With a dazzling smile making hearts skip beats

His soul it sparkled his sight rang true

He is and was the best person I ever knew

I just long to once more hold him in my arms

Free from scandal and senseless alarms

But it seems I have to settle for my skin

With your name trailing places you should’ve been
