NOTES APP POETRY 1.

Cactus boy

Cactus boy, you were soft from the beginning 

Then, as time went on you grew rougher

You started to prick me with your thorns but I brushed them off

Sometimes I’d have a couple of needles stuck a little deeper

But I’d still hold you and tell you I loved you

Cactus boy, this time you pricked me too deep

My skin stinging and bleeding

As you ripped yourself off of me

Like a bandaid that was stuck but not stuck enough for you and me

If you had stayed you would’ve just kept on pricking me

Cactus boy, I’m glad you decided to leave

But why did you let me bleed?
