This water
All these scars across my ribcage no one's ever seen before
They feel like fire
And the rain
Flowing, cold, across my bare skin in the dark
And even one moment
A single glimpse or touch, and you
And you can feel it
The space between our hands is like an ocean
But you are light
And you are blooming
And I would shelter you
From this storm
You are the thorn in my side
I will hold you like a rose
