So warm on your lips

Have you ever tasted blood
In a kiss?
So warm on your lips,
And sweet on your tongue.

It makes you feel a little
Cold down inside.
As though you should be
A little frightened.

Fear not for weeping within
The sadness of love.
It will come to pass,
This tingling in your soul.

Close your eyes one more time
As the sun sets on distant skies.
Feel an old song playing,
Like hearing a softly held hand.

Taste the blood on your kiss
But don't let the weeping begin.
Love hurts to have,
And love hurts when it let's go.
