In your arms,
I find comfort,
Upon my back
With bloodied lips;
And smoke dancing
Against the lights,
That is comfort.
In your arms
I find pain,
Fingertips from strangers
And flowers rain.
Betrayal eases me.
It is familiar,
And lifesaving.
Those words of yours;
Those silk lies
That slide from your throat
And Into mine,
Let’s start again.
A new face
To replace mine.
Hold me down
Until copper coats
My deceit drenched tongue
And I cannot think,
Cannot speak
Or dream
About her anymore.
Until eyes fade
And darkness calls.
Deception;
Hold me,
Until dawn.
