The Soldier and the Bride
Blood
runs out of me
And through your fiery eyes
It runs in rivers
Even in the thunderous sky.
But
this blood will not set you free
This is the blood that binds
A thousand times awashed
The stain still leaves you blind
You
can write my memory in red
You may write it in white
You can wear the chalk outline of my body
And I"ll be your Valentine.
You can write
my memory in red
You may write in white
But you will wear me like a crucifix
In the graveyard of your mind.
