White with Desert Polka Dots

Soft skin like an angel’s wings, a finger runs across
Dip your foot in the water and the cotton seeps it up
Shut your eyes and dream about the world winding down
And add your delicate rabbit’s touch, you’re a silly little girl

Paint a sky the colors of the roses in your heart
White and desert polka dots and a stain you left your mark
Let me cut you out of the thorns sinking in your skin and in your life

Bandaids cover the marks and seal your poppy colored eyes
Clench my jaw and whispered howl and your smile is all I need
Dont sob my love it hurts to see you crying in your sleep
Then do it all over again, God is hanging upside down

· youth, love
