You put your arm
Whole
Inside my heart
There was so much blood,
Could you see? Could you not?
I saw it in your eyes
The raging, burning, love.
Let me go, my heart is yours
I lick your wounds, you plant a kiss
I can feel it glow, the latent heat
She stands right behind your eyes.
In our house, years go by
She stands quiet, still eighteen
She stands as if she’s about to leave
She will. You won’t. I’ll stay, for you
There was so much blood
Couldn’t she see?
Give back my heart, my love
She won’t give yours to me
