we kissed each other lipless
and hugged our limbs raw
hollowed out our centers
and filled them with our flaws
you kept me in a tiny box
only took me out for show
i buried secrets in your eyes
until they overflowed
we danced until our feet broke through
what a bloody, terrible sight
you carried me to shelter
but we wouldn't last the night
and so the night crept in, my love
my breath was spewing fire
my words surrounded your throat and choked
your last cries of desire
it's nobody's fault but our own
and from now to kingdom come
i'll be wondering all my days
my love, what have we done?
