Secret keeper, I have been
Keeping you close to me
In the gaps between my ribs,
The dent above my lips.
Close as a moth in my sleeve,
Eat through the wool that hides me
Leave me here tattered and ragged,
Threadbare and naked.
So will you see all of me
And take me for what I am?
Wounds that forget to heal,
Skin that forgets to feel.
Know me like a moth in my sleeve,
Eat through the wool that hides me
Leave me here tattered and ragged,
Threadbare and naked.
