Opening

Future Skins

Some skins are coarse,
Flat as palms, crinkle-cut and
Corrugated card, the scores of dents
Like lineament of lips;
Firm, taut, somnolent slits.

Yours is soft.
You wear it firm.
Baby’s pinkish, pithy cheek.
For years to come, as card will rot,
The skin you wear is stasis-caught.

Chapter 2: I don't know what to do with you anymore. I'm pretty sure I'll soon be drowning in a river of my own tears. It's already really compelling and hypnotizing to read (as is all of your work). You're basically writing about some of my worst fears (SHINee breaking up, being alone, being hurt, sick, sad, etc). But the way you write it makes it so beautiful and perfect to read. I don't know. That sounds stupid. I'm in class at the moment and I don't know what I'm saying. Cancer's a . One of my oldest, closest friend's mother was a victim of cancer. It ruins peoples lives.

I just... . Try not to kill me okay? I'll be eagerly (and a tiny bit nervously) awaiting the next update. Love you! *kiss and virtual hug coming your way*
