I Smiled

When I was with you it was like, for once, God wasn't watching Like monstrous, angelic wings, you carried me through fields of uncertain bliss And the hues of the blues of the skies soared fierce You caressed my body in a corset of glistening light In the fleet of an instance And my soul was guided through foreign depths and neon steps What a marvelous love you've proven to be Your heart tinkered with me like a tin soldier in a toy store You'd get me wound up, and watch me uncoil to your liking And the sweet hush that escaped your love stained lips spoke to me in wondrous sin And I followed I skid across a path laced with thorns As deeply woven through the mist as my fingers in your hair I let them prick the supple flesh of my inner thighs as crimson blood licked my skin Brittle bones broke And weakness turned friendly I call you my destroyer But the trigger you pulled still bore the warmth from my hands And the bullets you took were engraved with my name And when you drew to aim The coordinates were inked in black across my face Smitten with the inside of the barrel With its nothingness Its deceitful nothingness And I smiled.
