Skeleton Kiss (Bones 3)

rattled sudden dryness parched of moisture passion drained i have kissed the skeleton teeth felt enamel tear my lips until the blood ran on the chin streaks of crimson on the pallor bleached landscape of a grinning skull grinning a chattering grin is this what happens when death's impish kiss sets seal upon a failing love the flaws and cracks siphon my blood 'till meat deserts my carcass leaving an empty structure drained to dessication screaming with silent breath of black and viscous nihilism no one hears or wonders nor will ever show it with smile fixated and dead as dead crusaders' bones dead but never know it
