Vessel
Just beyond my fingertips
lies all I’ve ever wanted,
All over my fingertips,
lies all I’ve ever been.
On the tip of my tongue
are the words I never said;
Tainting my tongue
is what I wish I hadn’t.
On the surface of my skin
rests all of my potential;
Etched into my bone
is what I will achieve.
Dissolved in my tears
are nights I never knew;
Behind my eyelids
are nights I’m glad I was there for.
Grazing my heart
is everything I’ve ever felt;
In my veins
are the things I’m lucky I did
Ringing in my ears
are all the things I’ve heard,
Beating in the drum
is all I ever needed to hear.
I have a fragile body,
yet my mind is brittle,
All I ever needed to tell you
was already there on my skin.
