Love stained your shirt

The love of my soul

Wrapped up in the warmth of you

You tried to sew the wound

But the light kept flowing through

Crimson fluorescent light

The beautiful color

Our hands were covered with

Smothered the surface of your skin

Our love stained the earth

In endless light

Before the gates of heaven

Gleaming something tragic

Tragically yearning

The gods laughed and scorned

As we held each other tight

Hoping to make it through

Hoping to reach the end

Of this painful thing called life

Still wrapped in the warmth of you
