Just for once sit and bleed with
me, stare at me slowly like you're intrigued
and just look into my eyes from across this
seemingly never-ending table.

Just for once breathe with me in the fading
candle light,
No, don't turn your head, those nervous impulses
are just fear leaving your body and I would never
hurt you.

I'm going to tell you how much I love you when this
night is through, but that's much much later,
just sit and stare and breathe and bleed with me,
and tonight try not to disappear again.
