Your Cover

I engrave a memory of you
deep down I buried in my emotion
not minding the bleed from castrations

A venom for a hoping heart 
I can't barely remember the start
when your doors offered me a curse

Caught in between two worlds
confusions strikes my waking soul
I am numb and you're the only cure

And there was a dagger in your words
that hits my body going through my brain 
but there's a torrid sweetness i taste in pain

I have bitten my lower lip
my bewildered tongue wants to take a sip
a single truth from your lies tip

My foot on your hottest sand
ripping off its upper skin, it stings but
I’m ready to suffer just to get through your cover

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
