Take your delicate fingers
Wrap them tightly around the barbwire
Let the feeling sink deep
As the blood runs out
Watch the shadows form
As the sun sets in silence
The night blankets the world
In darkess and dew
Feed the flowers your crimson
As their thorns grow stronger
Watch the rust in your veins
Change the color in your eyes
Bite your lip, my darling
Taste the blood of passion
Feel the color that cries
So gently down your chin
Let it stain the skin
That lingers in paleness
As it matches the moon
And brings tears to the stars
Lay upon the shards of emerald
As the rain sings a lullaby
Wash away the quiet pain
As the soul drifts into slumber.
