Bandages

I want to crawl into your wounds 
And make a home for myself 
in all that pain

Rearrange the furniture in your veins to make room for my old sofa
And stow my luggage 
in your heart

The tag on my suitcase still has your name on it
From the last time I flew home

I want to rip off your bandages and revel in the beauty 
of all those scars

Shine a light into your mouth 
so they glow
As bright and beautiful 
as the stars

After all, the blinking bulbs of this lonely, glittering city
Have nothing on the sky seen from your bedroom window
