Kerosene With a Match

They woke up
worried
What the other thought
They kissed eachother clean
during the early morning hours
They looked at one another
and felt a pang through their bodies

their eyes were filled with blood
when they looked at one
another

They went back to bed
Entangled bodies
that love
Nobody
