Touch my hands and kiss me on the cheeks  
Living for me has always been a sort of risk  
I don’t fear or praise any invisible thing  
My only enemy is resting beneath my skin

In the mornings I cover my face to fit  
So they won’t see the hysteria on my lips  
But in the dark I bleed from the needles  
My old angels have been turned into demons

I cover the cracks of my soul with photo filters  
My youth is fading away like soft whispers  
But I still send to faceless strangers my shame  
So many lies that I don’t even know who I am

[I pray](https://questionmark.lgbt/can-the-pope-be-an-lgbtq-ally/) with my eyes wide open and don’t blink  
Don’t feel a thing then I drown into dirty kinks  
I can barely see they rubbing on my skin  
Lost my north and this is my only sin

He threw me in a garden and abandoned me  
Showed me a seductive trap in a tree  
And now they use their bibles to outcast me  
My poems were love letters to nobody
