Love Gone Wrong

Tattoos on your soul expose your pain Vodka in your veins controls depravity Perforated voodoo dolls at your command Holy matrimony united in a kiss Diseased, dressed to kill, as pretty as it gets Wedding vowels begin in innocence Pins go in the flesh, dots connect, shrink the head Sow the lips together before you go to bed Conjure ancient spells before you sleep Stay in touch with your emotions enemy Remember death til you do part Means exactly that Pain and pleasure are the same A well preserved husband in a formal wear tuxedo Is a love that lasts forever for better or for worst It is better than a living one at any time In formaldehyde

Hi Sunita, Thank you. I wanted to create an odd mix of images against the established norms. In reality, love should always remain sweet, simple, respectful and humane. Have a great day. Earl
