Liz Mckenzie Poet I do not know?

I Want You Back

I want you back.

I see the writing on your arm
I want you back

I see the writing on your wall
I want you back.

I see the scars

I want you back
“Save me” 
I want you back

Soft smooth skin...
Whiteness.
I want you back 

Smoothness
I want you back

Tasteless
I want you back

Scaredness
I want you back

Sacredness.

Scarred writing, scared writing, sacred sanctity
saving your soft skin which scares me into a tasteless whiteness!
Blank!
I want you back.

Come home
