Grotesque Names

s--t--i--t--c--h--e--s
line my body
limbs sown TOGETHER
in a grotesque display of
                             LOVE

you name

                         a      g       d
line upon pale skin
ANGRY RED LINES betray the pain
fresh
raw
red
real
just like you were
the last time I saw you?
REAL.
before you too 
DENRUT
                  away.
O two N people E in 
who are you?
Who are we?
who am I?
YOU SAID
      you said
and she carves the name
of the one she 
                                    LOVES
and watches it
bleed
bleed
bleed
away
           tonight.

forget my name
and open a vein.

Smile, I am soo sorry that I have missed "You"~But as I was telling someone the other day here-someone very close to myself lost a battle last week they have been fighting for a little while-so it took me far away from this place at soup....Yet, "I Never Forgot 'You Madison!!!":):)....Cont....
