Give Me Your Sleep

The price of love is time

Woven empty into the early hours

Collecting like plum-colored rain under my eyes

How many days have you given to anxiety?

Is it enough to be in love?

Is is fragile and bleeding blue in the moonlight?

Tell me

Or skip stones on my skin

Leaving bruises like reminders

Hold my hair back

And waltz with death

Braided brass under my bones

The price of love is unkown

Carved into your canine teeth

And buried under promises
