Tissue Paper

Your promises clothe me like tissue paper

They cover me

Drape me

Protect me

But all in all,

They're just tissue paper

Light

Brittle

Transparent.

At the first sign of storms,

Your promises dissolve.

They disappear from my body

Leaving me bare,

Exposed.

I am stripped of all virtue,

Of all innocence

Left with the rain pouring down my skin

Melting away my purity.
