malleable

(me)

By Sara Published about a year ago 1 min read

paint me like da Vinci

mold me like i am malleable

i want to drip

down your fingers

like paint.

draw on my skin

everything i have forgotten

i want to fold

into your arms

like you have been

waiting for me.

close your eyes

and trace my face

say that i am art.

can you find petals

in my tangled heart,

can you hold my broken shards

that cut your lips

like glass.

do you like the taste of blood

dancing on your tongue?

i am a blank canvas.
