Death By Flesh

I'm falling in and out of love intensely With someone who knows me so grotesquely Every day I wake up and I start dreaming Of the wine-dark ocean where I will stop swimming Stripped of my skin, I shiver in the night When he came with a knife I put up no fight Bleeding out on the sidewalk, drawing my own chalk lines I really should have looked at those lit up signs But when an angel appeared outside my window I knew damn well there was no where else to go And as we both indulge in holy cannibalism We're far too late to witness heroism
