I can be gentle.
I can let go of the rage
you pull from my skin.
I bruise you.
You wound me.
I seethe.
You stand in my shadow.
I breathe your soul.
I consume you.
You yearn for touch
with no pain,
Love without fear.
I yearn for your embrace,
Embrace without struggle.
Love without fear.
You are my beauty.
I am your Destruction.
I hold you forever and a day.
Your memory lingers on my skin.
Your blood lingers on yours.
You stop yearning.
I can let go of my rage.
I can't let go of you.
