Love Manual Recall

Take me up to where it's hard to breath. Just suffocate me. Illuminated in light so cold by a face so bold. Drift up, Drift out. Sink slowly down away. Wrapped in clothes of blood stains alone and cold to cry. This space around squeezed. I've died. Further away from you I've been. Now so close to touch the hand. But I recede while your face bleeds when you cry. Haunted by a spirit that has not died. Haunted by a spirit you question. Flow up, Flow out. Open veins bleed doubt. Spilling beat by beat from a heart of glass. Fragile so. It's life long past. To the ears every beat a blast to help love pass. Flow up, Drift out. But I can't help to think about the bleeding doubt of the stranger. My soul in danger. Drift back, Flow down. Standing on the edge watching him drown. His love true. His blood blue. Dry eyes tear me up. Pull me waist deep in his blood. Pulling me nearer. His love radiates. As I walk through blood disintegrates. Drift out, Flow out. I extend my hand and touch the face that couldn't kill this man. Space freezes. The air breathes. Breathe in, Breathe out. I exhale the doubt to love and die by the hand of blood.
