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.
