Not a Savior, but Another Scar

I suppose this is how the story goes

from mussed hair to your curled toes

from present skin and your absent clothes

this isn't poetry, this is strictly prose

 

it serves only practice and purpose

it is both malice and your bliss

with each well placed callous kiss

we both slide further toward abyss

 

bite and scratch like the animals we are

passion burns like the brightest star

but all fire will be reduced to char

I'm not a savior, but another scar
