deathetix in Poetry & Free Verse

bleed

holding silver coins underneath my tongue

as if it tasted of another shot of your poison

cold metallic edges i'd run my tongue over

until it's bleeding and i could dream of you

holding the rusted blades underneath my skin

pretending it stung not because of your touch

this time i bleed in rivers of bitter nightmares

and i stain your fingertips a thousand times over
