On a bed of nails
I try not to kiss you
While I feel my spine seeping
And the puncture wounds
Beneath me.

I comb my hair
To the right side of my face
So when I wake
It shields my eyes
Against the sunlight.

The colour of my wings
Are white,
A tone I would not associate
With myself,
Though I'm assured
It agrees with me
And so I accept it.

The nails come through
My chest
And like a fool
I kiss you.

I hope love pierces through your kisses too. The emotion that comes through kissing and other intimacies can be so painful and you expressed it well. :rose:

I've been through something like this recently so it made quite an impact.

This must be one of the best poems of you I've seen in a while.

We all love to hear we do things right. You never replied to my answer by the way. You like Perfume Genius, Dom?
