A Prayer

Scratch

scratch

scratch me

please

the skin is too

it's too

too thick and I

need the feel

of the air

inside me so

scratch

scratch me

please

please rip it

rip it open and

make it cooler

and less violent

in here where

where nothing happens

but the passing of time

it may take time

it may take time but

please help me

and scratch

scratch me please

please

and I'll wait

for the torrent

in faith

faith in

faith in you

you wouldn't

let me down
