Kiss Me Deadly

By Muriel Palanca



Kiss me deadly. Hold me steady.

Breathe in me your misery.

This decadence, so bittersweet,

To make this hell so heavenly.

Taste my tears and deepest fears,

Touch my wounds. I pray,

To feel your heartbeat in my chest

And your pain caress my face.

Confess your sins into my lips

And I’ll whisper mine in yours.

Cradle me in your broken wings

So that I may fall some more.

Share with me your darkest dreams

And close your tired eyes.

Hold my hand and drown with me

In a sea of lullabies.

Take away my loneliness

And drink the blood right from my veins.

Give me all that’s left of you

And I will do the same.

Surrender all your weaknesses

And the cross you cannot bear.

Release the anguish that you feel

And I will listen to your despair.

Cripple me with cruelty

That will bring me to my knees.

Let me love the part of you

That the others dare not see.

Let me share your suffering,

So that I may hurt as well.

Trust in me your lovely scars,

Because I will never kiss and tell.
