you make me sick
when you touch me
can't wash the filth off
hours in the shower
scrubbing
flakes

your lines unstitch me
why can't you just forget me
I spend so much time
numbing myself, prepping myself
just to get out of bed
dead skin cakes the sheets

I'm sick
I'm filthy
I didn't need a knife to reveal what's inside
leave me, it's not safe here anymore
