Braille

Be kind to your skin
It shells my sweetheart
The one that's everything I've never known
Who sews my arms that carry indentations
While completely cavalier about her own

You can feel through my pores
Your name in braille
You're the vessel I found
Sailing in my veins

I'm the candle you leave lit in hopes that
You burn my hesitation to the ground
When it comes to being loved without permission
I smother every spark 'til I go out

You can feel through my pores
Your name in braillе
You're the vessеl I found
Sailing in my veins

I am welded
To the freckles of your arm
To your voice inside the dark

You are the scriptures our fathers wrote
Upon the holy stone
You're the map back to my home
I am welded to your arm

You can feel through my pores
Your name in braille
You're the vessel I found
Sailing in my veins

You're the braille
