because you are sweeter

I cannot be vulnerable
Open sore and salty air
The sharpness of lime.
It is the pain that is distractive
Not so much destructive
But destroy me slowly
If it'll take my mind away
Off these things
Is it okay if I only love you to replace my demons.
Because you are sweeter.
But I don't know if sugar can heal.
If sugar can exorcise.
If sugar can bleach.
If sugar can blind.

I cannot be hurt
I am a cold suit of armour
Of a disavowed knight.
I am but naked skin
I am years of nervous sin.
But peel me carefully
As if I'm a dangerous fruit
Or forbidden
Is it okay if I only love you to replace my demons.
Because you are sweeter.
