the curve of your back as you slept— always too sacred to touch, a human and perfect machine that my mortal hands would soil.
always too sacred to touch and yet you never told me that my mortal hands would soil your skin and hair and body.
and yet you never told me, in all the time we spent, your skin and hair and body had belonged to someone else.

AwestruckdeviantID
| i'd like to say to you, "i'm perfect." i'd like to show you a statue of a goddess, carved in precious stone, gilded, and tell you, "this is me." i'd like to lie and tell you, "i'm beautiful." but if you were looking for the truth, the truth is: i am lies. i'm a fool, i'm mistakes--i'm cities, burning. i'm war and broken glass, i am ruin and blood. i am human. and i am beautiful. |
