you are the cut that bleeds the longest you are the wound that never heals you are the hickey I desperately cover and still hurts in a perpetual sting you are the scratching that turned into a bruise you are my face all black and blue you are juliet’s deathlike sleep you are romeo’s poisoned lips you are the pain that never ceases you are the demons in my dreams you are the blade tearing my skin apart you are the knife deadly crossing my heart you are my failing lungs gasping for air you were desire you are despair

la petite mort
you are the cut that bleeds the longest you are the wound that never heals you are the hickey I desperately cover and still hurts in a perpetual sting you are the scratching that turned into a bruise you are my face all black and blue you are juliet’s deathlike sleep you are romeo’s poisoned lips you are the pain that never ceases you are the demons in my dreams you are the blade tearing my skin apart you are the knife deadly crossing my heart you are my failing lungs gasping for air you were desire you are despair
