Beneath the skin

2014-Present

Our fates intwined when i saw you lying there

My intentions; material.

I wanted you as a scarf, i wanted you as a hat,

A trophy of my salvage,

it was the way i was used to.

After spending time with you,

touch of your body,

not being able to look you in the eyes,

becoming normal, becoming a part of me.

Your eyes are amazing,

I wonder what you see every day,

wonder is what brought me to you.

I took you back to where i found you,

I found where i believe is your home,

And for the next period of my life i lived as you.

Finding any means to survive.

After this time together,

you as my skin,

there became a fusion.

it was then i realised, the self-inflicted metamorphosis,

within the journey between us.

until there was no us,

there was just me.
