In the Skin of Shy.

Too safe, in alabaster skin. (Quiet, reserved and breathing.) So safe, the girl I am within. (In corners, impossible waiting.) Too loud, the rhythm in my ears. (Conundrum, perceptible weaving.) So loud, the soluble sting of fears. (In labors, I find myself breathing.) Please, my love... Break me.
