I like pens that bleed
Ink that smears 
Girls with scars 
Broken parts 
***** clothes 
Stained sheets 
The hint of blood
The taste of lust
The smells of love
Nights through morning 
Mornings to night
Suns that sleep
Moons that dream
And all the pretty
You hide underneath 
Those pretty
Pretty
Pretty things
