PAPERCUT
by Michaela Carmitan
Just wait a minute
Please (don't) touch me
(even though hugs from the back
make me melt)
Can’t you see
(the thin red line)
that I’d love to touch
your skin with mine
But it hurts
(stings)
and I can't help
but s c r e a m
(so soft that you can't hear me)
as you grab my hand
(not so gently)
and kiss my palm with your swollen lips
(tainted with a bit of red)
that smell of smoke and beer
(and some girl from work)
