Your Loss or Mine
O sweet dagger – my heart accepts you
With blood and pain you make me mine
As you draw your name in my blood
Each letter deeper into my death
With your face in my eyes I take my last breath
Is your finger cold?
Or has my warmth poured out?
Lay on me until I sleep
Your weight holds me still – keeps me warm
In the agony- my loss torments me
Your caress leads me home
A bloody trail shows the way
But I die before you join me
Only your memory and your mark eternity holds for me
My loss or yours
The world weeps for me
You weep for yourself
And my blood stains your cheek
And you look young again
And I love you each day
As I always have before
