My fragile/ The Blood That Paints The Family Tree

The shallow of our wilds

commits to a clash.

The pettiest of insults

we collide to crash.

And we lay mashed,

tangled in one another,

like the blood paints the family tree.

The curtain that,

blind,

the inside of my eyes.

Closer to,

me than,i.

I am,

i breathe,

so there is she.

She shades me,

like the blood that paints the family tree.
