be soft with me
i beg
be soft.
be gentle
and pleading.
caress paint
not yet dry
it is at its softest.
be gentle with
what spills
from your tongue,
it is like polished
whiskey.
drunk on anger
and the reality of
hardness.
be gentle with me
be soft.
i want to carry you
like sand.
i want you to spill
into my palm.
drink starlight
until dawn
and be gentle.
be soft.
absorption
is a fallacy.
you will still
feel impact.
you will still
want to corrode.
you will still
want to weep
blood.
but be gentle.
be soft.
think of blue
think of the
rain in
a soul.
think of light
and its loving
of the darkness'
victims.
think of branches
that grow to live
amidst the calamities
of humankind.
be soft.
be gentle with me.
i will carry you
like a cloud.
you will feel me
with you.
but you will
feel free.
be gentle.
be soft.
be gentle.
be soft.
this world
hates that
the most.
more than
it hates
drunk
anger
