Naked and Bleeding

Peel off my shirt
Unbuckle your belt
Kick off our shoes

Keep your socks on.

Nothing to lose
Don't worry
We'll clean up later.

Pull me away.
Hold me close.
Fast forward...then rewind.

Lost and tangled
Suffocating (...breathe...)
Falling apart(...stay close...)

Keep your head on.

Now all I feel are
Your finger prints on me.
Don't worry...all bruises fade.

Are you there yet?
Let it wash over you.
And let me watch.

Keep the lights on.

Then you ask about my scars.
Don't if you can't take
The bleeding.

For now I'm sitting on
Your shoulder...
With white wings and red tail.

Existing somwhere between
a temporary fascination..
and a long-term complication.
