“If you died tonight, what would you regret not doing?”


When love sits on a platter

I serve my heart to you

The beating red

Of pouring veins

Spills out to cherish you


My arms held far

Locked elbows creak

I sway from side to side

Numbing lips

Blue fingertips 

Show nothing I can hide 


To what remorse

May you give?

What judgment 

Will you serve?

As you touch

My living flesh

I get what I deserve 


Within your palms

My fate does rest

Fears push up at my eyes

As in my chest

Wounds seep out yet

And never shall they dry
