level by level you've burned

to my core.

hurt me

penetrating and hot on

the softer sides of my

harder edges, like you know

just where to stick that knife

and not hit bone.



i want to frame that smile,

that beautiful face you make

so surreal,

and with the happiness my blood brings

for you

i will

bleed again.



i want to kiss your lips

and pray that it won't hurt so bad this time.

with your nails dug into my spine

yes this is salvation

and you are my christ.

this is my sin,



and i will crucify you in me,

and you'll wear this crown of thorns

above a face that'll shine like

heaven got a new breed of angel.



Yes, this is my pain

this is my sin

my body touched, tortured and burned

with such grace

you are the roses on my grave

and the force driving the nails



and while we get our fill

on body and blood

i'll pray to whatever god that'll listen

that this is the last time

i let you taste my skin.
