Crimson Sealed Letters

With blood

pinch Me

let Your nails dig deep

'til blood runs down My throat

I see the anger in Your eyes

but You're not mad at Me

You're mad at Yourself

You never wanted to love Me

but here We are

You can't get enough of Me

so beat Me

make My eyes bleed

take it all out on Me

Your sorrow now belongs to Me

I'm the object of Your affection

I'm the object of Your aggression

 

don't tie Me up

Your words are ropes

they wrap around My wrists

they pinch tight

I'll still look at You with loving eyes

when You tighten Your anger around My neck

 

fillet Me with Your longing eyes

I know You've always seen Me

I see right through Your lies

You've always wanted Me

I see right through Your lies

I know You've always seen Me

fillet Me with Your longing eyes

You've always wanted Me

 

I feel Your grip, it makes You high

I feel Your kiss, it makes Me high

and just like this

You slip Your knife

straight through My ribs

My heart still beats

even with the cold blade

My heart still beats for you

even with Your lying tongue

 

mistake someone new for Me

call her by My name

eat her heart out

like the scavenger You are

search for Me

in ever doting smile You see

but Your face will droop

make her wonder where Your minds at

make her think You hate her

 

come back to Me

I dare You

find an empty seat

occupied by Your love for Me

try to escape Me

see Me on the street

follow Me

try to fill My seat

see Me

kissing someone new

see My smile

see Me

with someone who doesn't

pinch Me

love poems
