It was the Pain

Blessed kisses on my skin—
Beauty lies merely in sin;
We lie together in our tears
And everything else disappears!

Revered touches to my cheek—
What about this makes me weak?
We lie together in our blood
And nothing else can be enough!

Cherished words; “I love yous” too—
What is it that makes me love you?
We lie together in our sweat
But nothing can make me forget!

Honored embraces that we shared—
It was the pain that made you care!
We lie together with our death
So easy for you to forget!
