Succumb

In Loss, Love, Poetry on December 19, 2009 at 1:37 AM

How many nights must I succumb
to kiss the neck just to taste the blood?
How may nights must I pretend
that one more drop can somehow defend?
How many nights must I succumb
to the way that i was when I was young?
How many nights can I pretend
that one more kill can take away my sin?

How many nights can I deny
the fire that burns and turns inside?
How many nights can I awake
in a cold sweet and to an old fate?
How many nights can I deny
The way that i was when I was shy?
How many nights can I awake
take heed and take hold the words of the snake?
