Her Kiss (2011)

"Does the darkness know your name"
She whispered
To me
"Do you know why you came?"

There's a shadow at the door,
Memories knocking in earnest
but I don't answer,
"Why?"
She asks of me.

"Did that bottle bring you home..."
She asks, lips to my neck
My breath escapes
She breathes,
I stand to fall.

Am I afraid,
No,
Not afraid I say,
No,
No.

"Does the darkness know your pain..."
She beckons
Eyes to meet mine,
Oh sweet burning eyes,
Can they forgive me?

"Your illusion..."
She kisses
I bleed
"Is it all that you can see..."
All that I can see...
Is me...

"Is it lonely where you are..."
She looks to my skin
She ponders
"Are you all alone..."

She kisses again
I am dreaming
"What do you see..."
I close my eyes
I see...
