cotton balls
so soft
so fragile
so white
stuff my mouth with cotton balls
let them flood my throat
fill me up so good
they'll find fluff
in my stomach
stuff my eyes with cotton balls
blind me from his eyes
his smile
stuff my nose with cotton balls
don't let me smell
his sweater
which i secretly kept
plug my ears with cotton balls
don't let me hear his pleas
his apologies
his promises
sew cotton balls
into my hands
which he held so tight
sew them into every inch
of my skin
that i wanted him to touch
and then bury me in cotton balls
so soft
so fragile
so red
