My heart is hesitant to beat
Because it is too afraid
To disturb the ghosts
That sleep behind the cage of my ribs

You reach for my hand
And flinch at the cold
The sun trembles
when it meets my skin

You beautiful things
Are not meant to bleed
For someone like me

I am less like a human
And more like a grave
There is nothing within me
That you could save
