He loved her and she loved him, br His kisses sucked out her whole past and future or tried to br He had no other appetite br She bit him, she gnawed him she sucked br She wanted him complete inside her br Safe and Sure forever and ever.. br br His smiles were the garrets of a fairy palace br Where the real world would never come br Her smiles were spider bites br So he would lie still until she felt hungry br His words were occupying armies br Her laughs were an assassin's attempt br His looks were bullets daggers of revenge br Her glances were ghosts in the corner with horrible secrets br His whispers were whips and jackboots br Her kisses were lawyers steadily writing br Her vows put his eyes in formalin br At the back of her secret drawer br Their screams stuck in the wall br Their heads fell apart into sleep like the two halves br Of a lopped melon, but love is hard to stop br br In their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs br In their dreams br their brains took each other hostage br br In the morning they wore each others faces............
