If I put cherry on my lips
and blood in my cheeks
And I told you I've never been had.
You would give and have me
And I would find joy and jest at your fragility
But if there was nothing sweet in my mouth
And blood on my dress
You would quiet me
And you could never believe me
Like a vampire terrified his own reflection.
And covering it with a black cloth.
Hold on to your "divine superiority"
Because I can look in the mirror.
I can wear my blood.
I can taste my bitterness,
And I remember your fragility.
About the Creator

Currently taking life far too seriously. I wish I read more than I wrote, yet here we are. I am incredibly cyclical and I like to write down my mind before it shifts.
