then love me here...

if you cannot love me there
there
in the land of life and breath
then love me here
here
in the land of indigo blood
and velum flesh

here
where your caresses
scorch this parchment skin
here
where your lips
meet mine in crimson slips
here
where words unspoken
are screamed in paper dreams

here
on this paper
where the ink flows
like the rivers run
to my heart

 

here

since you...

nothin’s the same
time fuels the flame
no one to blame
fate gone lame
memories remain
nothin’s the same

since you
