Steps

This is probably a run on sentence, but that's okay... I was extremely sleep deprived when I wrote it.

Darling, you are so pure

and it seems I lie through my teeth
more than I grind them in my sleep

because
I simply don't

want
you
to
know

that I am nothing more than skin stretched over cracking bones.
