Underneath your clean fingernails<\/span><\/p>\n

beyond your soft hair\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

inside your empty pores<\/span><\/p>\n

into a heart full.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love to swim through your veins\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sorry for pricking your smooth skin<\/span><\/p>\n

there are a few of my edges that haven’t rounded\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sanding them down<\/span><\/p>\n

making sure I don’t miss any points.<\/span><\/p>\n

prevent me from kicking over loose stones again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sorry I’m not quite steady.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m working on it\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I will be the one who is there when your sugar is too low\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

when your blood pressure soars\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

when your skin cracks from the lack of sunshine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

let me show you how it feels to be taken care of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
