Carve - Petal

It’s as if you cracked my skull open

Peeked inside while I was sleeping

And I’m thinking, «what business do you have?»

And I wish I could unsee your kindness

Every upward turn of your mouth

But I cannot so I’ll bury it in sound

In grace, in erasing myself

I would live in the deepest cave

And draw upon the walls

Ignore the sticks and stones

To ignite some kind of fire

And God, will they love me if I am honest?

I would starve until every bone would show

Just to feel a little lighter

And still avoid the truth

You carved your name in me

And I wish I never knew you
