Blood trickles down your leg

The mosquito bite you never let heal

The person you were would not like this new creature you’ve become

The person I was would hold you just the same 

Your silhouette melts into the darkness of my room

I have never been able to tell it from my bedpost in the night

You hold my fingers to your neck and

Beg me to find a pulse

I hope the monsters your run from rip us apart

I hope they put us back together wrong

So one half of you is the other of me

Flowers wilt around us as you ask me if you can be saved

I look at your blood staining the dirt

And tell you yes
