Let the right one in

Floating complications nest here in the fall

Yellowed tongues and wisped hair

Wonderment of dry things

Crisp your thought and heart

What is left of me, what is left of my mind

It all sours into the night

Into the separation of a gift

Of a severed hand with frozen fingertips

Water down my back

Is no hindrance

To those who love the chill

Who love the complications of the feel

I am the ugliest fracture

The ugliest of all

I yellow and I protrude

I wanted to

To be warm by your body

In my mind would be whole

The white and the blinding

That covers the hole

That I left to myself

To fill

To feel at all

Waiting changes of the crease

You left inside my skin

Brown and grey and yellow

The moles that dot my chin

Converging into one

Blinding me from within

It seeps into my blood

It kills only to live

To stand next to you at all

Would you let me in

To stand next to the warm

Would you let me take your hand

To be were I felt it at all

Would you let me in

I am the ugliest of all

My skin is choked and frayed

I am the horrible thing

That frightens you in day

Would you let me in

Would you let me stay
