Starfish
KatinaChoo

the salt from the sea
 1
and the tears dripping down my glass
 2
mingle with my lips
 3
in a fruitless attempt at something
 4
psuedo-sexual
 5
and fulfilling.
 6
 
 
and subtly,
 7
your hands lose themselves
 8
to my innocence
 9
and the beauty between us
 10
is pushed out
 11
by raw
 12
impurities.
 13
 
 
I surround myself
 14
with the things I love most
 15
and one fo them is you.
 16
 
 
you.
 17
 
 
and clinging to the pillows
 18
and tangling sheets,
 19
like starfish
 20
to sharpened rocks,
 21
cuts at my stomach
 22
and my breasts
 23
and my thighs,
 24
but the bleeding is all i know.
 25
