Love within madness, isn’t it funny?

Blood under us under mistletoe, loving.

What I have, what I love is hers

And isn’t she just the worst?

Ferocious acrylic claws,

Squeeze until I pop,

Tighter, until I bleed

She wants to hear me scream. 

She’ll rest her head on my shoulder and cry,

Sobbing day into night into day into night. 

She is all that I know is real,

She is beauty, she is love, she is fear.
