Twice Broken Bones/ The River of Blood

A silent scream, a seismic glance,
My denial at every chance,
A billion secrets lies and locks,
But this hurricane is home to me.

But how I wish that waves of pain
And bitter tears, twice broken bones,
Infertile gifts and bloody lips
Would numb the fire inside me.

But you’ll wash my wounds in streams of salt,
And kiss me under words untrue,
Then smirk and know that still, at least
For one more day, I’m in love with you.
