Kiss Me Deadly
Kiss Me Deadly
By Muriel Palanca
Kiss me deadly. Hold me steady.
Breathe in me your misery.
This decadence, so bittersweet,
To make this hell so heavenly.
Taste my tears and deepest fears,
Touch my wounds. I pray,
To feel your heartbeat in my chest
And your pain caress my face.
Confess your sins into my lips
And I’ll whisper mine in yours.
Cradle me in your broken wings
So I may fall some more.
Share with me your darkest dreams
And close your tired eyes.
Hold my hand and drown with me
In a sea of lullabies.
Take away my loneliness
And drink the blood right from my veins.
Give me all that’s left of you
And I will do the same.
Surrender all your weaknesses
And the cross you cannot bear.
Release the anguish you feel
And I will listen to your despair.
Cripple me with cruelty
And bring me to my knees.
Let me love the part of you
The others dare not see.
Let me share your suffering,
So I may hurt as well.
Trust in me your lovely scars,
Because I will never kiss and tell.
