Loving You (Version #2)

Rusty nails

Under my skin

Stuck between my memories

And my future sin

Unpredictable uncertainty

From the choices I made

As a child to adulthood

So many wrongs played

Forgotten names

Of every and each treasure

But nestled between her thighs

Was my greatest pleasure

Spewing out the truths

They set my inferno free

Threatened by limited time

I succumbed and bent my knee

Haunting’s from yesterday

Made my daydreams reality

A door ajar invited me inside

Even in surrendering I make a plea

I planted my strongest seed in the earth

To mark my early grave

Fallen from the sky at great speed

To this love I have become a slave

Turn off the kettle

A warm tea by the crackling fire

I melt in love with you

And wrap my scalp in barbwire
