Scarlover

Been over this a hundred times we’ve talked it to its

black end

It begins again and again there’s nothing we can say

My brain has derailed my hands are benailed

You fall across my body like a death shroud

Your wound was plain like mine no ragged edges well

defined

We grew to war like a bloom reaching toward the light

It felt so brutal so transdermal so alive it felt so

alive felt so alive

Hear the sound the sick sound of us clicking

Feel the skin between us thicker, thickening

As the first cut relieves believe me

I’m a scarlover too and I’m full of scars like you

Scarlover my scarlover my scarlover my scarlover

Ugly inside of me taught me of beauty I wouldn’t trade

that work of art

For all the silk of perfect skin perfect skin perfect

skin

I wear it well like the colors of a tribe of survivors

You dressed my up so fine my painful, truthful boy

With bold strokes and rape of soul you were dazzling

matchless a legend in your field

And you thought you could love me just a little

And I used you to test my aim and precision

I was good, so good I was close to perfection but you

turned the blade on me

And I loved it I loved it

Scarlover my scarlover my scarlover my scarlover

Ugly inside of me taught me of beauty

I wouldn’t trade that work of art

For all the silk of perfect skin perfect skin perfect

skin

Let me in

I wonder where you are

Scarlover
