Risk

I came to find a friend
To interrupt the ending
I didn't know it then
How skilfully I could pretend

Thought I would stay the same
A reptile dressed in cotton
Shy of the summer sun
The heat of hands so long forgotten

There was an open door
The room was thick with breathing
Creature you sitting there
And I was scared of staying
And I was scared of leaving

You were a jolt of pain
To shock me into feeling
And now my scaled skin
Is soft as milk and sure of bleeding

Falling
I fear I'm more than
A perfect warning
Of what it means
To give it all
Your thoughts
Your lungs
Your lips
Your limbs
Oh won't you take my everything
I'm never going back again
