Petals for skin
There's a girl with petals for skin.
Skin that symbolizes softness and compassion.
Skin that wilts with harsh touch.
Skin that collapses when compassion is lost.
There's a girl with petals for skin.
Who fell in love with a boy in the dark.
A boy with a smile so bright the dark was lost.
A boy with such soothing hands it seemed they glew.
There's a boy in the dark.
Who fell in love with a girl with petals for skin.
Who couldn't break down the barriers.
Who wasn't able to turn on the light.
There's a boy in the dark.
Who found compassion within her wilted petals.
There's a girl with petals for skin.
Who found comfort within his barriers.
There's a boy in the dark.
There's a girl with petals for skin.
They see the dark.
They see the wilting.
There's a couple in love.
Who needed each other as much as two people could ever imagine.
