bloody heart.

they say too much of anything can kill you 

they forgot to mention 

too little of what you need

suffocates you

they say we go for the love we think we deserve 

they underestimated how easy

that is to become a belief 

you blindly accepted 

the universe of love is a balance of pain

covering yourself in the colors

of the galaxy 

refusing to redefine the meaning 

every time she touches you 

painting you with the pigmented 

you smile through the sound of broken bones

of shattering soul 

and you wonder 

if drowning in the pool of tears would cleanse you

no one wants a dirty soul

downing the liquid blue 

burning every inch of flesh within you

spit, spill

nothing but the crimson blue acid 

your pearls now stained 

you thought 

if death was the alternative ending 

for this toxic love story 

but she found you smiling 

as she slid her digest around the blade

drawing out your soul

you lost your voice to the sound of her name

and you watched the world behind her lens 

devouring in flames
