its going to wash off
like magic marker
you keep rubbing the saliva into your skin
hoping to avoid a shower
it was like that
all those first times
it takes years to get used to
being soiled
its a strangulation of voices
silence in between breaths
you could never imagine
the heaviness
the weight of things never said
I always liked the rain
but it never poured hard enough
I was forever left
looking for new ways
to rid myself
of my own weakness
fresh water and pain don't mix
you need to taste the salt
feel the burn
I drench myself in oceans
fires
dirt
but underneath
the marks still crawl
beneath my skull
