Suck the blood
from out my neck
let me die
and resurrect.

Let me live
and burn at will
yet hold me close
and love me still.

Stroke my hips
and twirl my hair
let my curls be sweet and fair
let my heart be a somber fool
why does this matter
for I’m your tool.

Cut my lips
and let them bleed
they become red, then brown at head
and as you kiss them
they allow
the last of men to feel the mouth.

As age grows old
mother passes
looking through old reading glasses
and each of us are known to be
the queen of day
and the knight of thieves.

or as the French like to be known
we are the spawn of what was old
we are the shame of love to be
what love once was
might one day cease.

our goal; to keep the saint alive
with natural sync and super size
in each to ourselves
to ourselves a sweet
as love was given as a treat.
