I kissed death in the lips
Breathed into him all of my hopes
And all of my dreams
And all of my lies
And all of my insecurities
He held my hand
And told me that I was beautiful
I kissed death on the lips today
I looked into his eyes
And there was no hypocrisy there
Only a truth
That we both knew
He held my hand
And the warmth of my skin
Against his
Silenced all of my fears
And all of my doubts
I looked into his eye
And in a moment
We became one
I kissed death on the lips
And I was no longer
And he was no longer
We just were
And that
Was good enough
For me.
