read me
carve your words into my flesh
listen to its crumpled skin
hear its pulse and know my touch

show me
spin your faith into my eyes
breathe in its sour judgement
taste my skin and know its poison

touch me
imprint our thoughts within my heart
feel it quiver in its fleshy coil
sense a part of you imbedded inside me

hold me
share your warmth with my body
take away the pain of knowing
alone in this darkness, we fall together
