Under your Skin

Under you skin

push me away

disdain the truth I offer

looking instead to the pain

to the abuse

that has always come before.

Under your skin

you are not sure

unable to trust

that the words I speak

my actions

they coincide.

Under your skin

I make you writhe

uncomfortable

as I show you

there is a different side.

Under your skin

I scare you so much

for this

neither of us were looking for.

Under your skin

under my skin

we dance with heat

amongst the constellations.

One step forward

ten back

we feel our way

we fight our way

to

trust and adoration.
