You Turn Me Into Gaia

I have always been made up of harsh things

Broken glass and mirror shards
Vodka straight from the bottle and the smell of cigarettes
Bloody lips and bruised wrists

I told you not to love me because I’m dirty
You shouldn’t taint yourself with me
You told me it’s okay
And loved me anyway

When you touch me I become something new

Sunsets and moonlight in the summer
A morning breeze and fresh green grapes
Dragonfly wings and the buzzing of bees

You turn me into Gaia
You make me feel like the sun warmed Earth

Do you understand?

Nice, something as simple as a touch can change our entire outlook on who we are.
