Poem I wrote

Formed from browning decay

A surge of hopeย 

Your impatience fattens meย 

Drown your insecurities through my existence

The more you give

The more blame I have to take


Growing slow and gentle

Pink, pure beautyย 

Pull back your handsย 

Preceding my primeย 

Kill me in time


Thin and bright

My skin is smooth and unbrokenย 

Adolescent beauty like no other

This is my optimum time

Take me

Have me before I wilt

Deflowered before my pigments set


Heavy hands hold my fading life

Rough around my edges

Jagged and rapacious

I am most romantic cut


Settle my frame between plain paper

Remind me of my breeding purpose

Press me hard and gentle

Tight enough to preserve my corpse

What a waste I'd be to die ugly


I am beautiful

Up on a wallย 

Taped in pagesย 

Pinned in between the ugly ridgesย 

Left to gather dust to clench your fetish

Always beautifulย 

Especially in death

this is beautiful! i can't help but think of mitski's song "Liquid Smooth", and i also adore that song! you have a lovely vocabulary

I love Mitski !! I love that song too and I see the similarities since my poem was also centered around perception of beauty and that fleeting feeling to be young and beautiful.
