Crimson Wound

Let it embrace you. Let it devastate you. Let it set you free.

What if — you hugged me till I smelled like you

And my frozen fingers melted onto your heated skin?

What if you kissed me till you could speak no more

Till your warmth stole blood from my lips?

I wish our love was as real as this imagination

I wish our skins could collide and burst into small particles.

All my thoughts travel at once — in a millisecond

Only to caress you; (or, to let you go.)

I know no chivalrous deed that trembles my mind,

I only know how your words can sue my heart.

You are that crimson wound on my black and white soul

Please leave me alone — I can bear it no more.
