Tainted Blood

How can you touch someone
who has so much dirt
encrusted in their filthy skin?

How can you love someone
who has so much poison
swimming through their tainted blood?

How can you ever trust someone
who has been so close to the devil
that his scent lingers on their body?

How can you ever look at someone
knowing that contact will cause you harm
when they look back into your eyes?

How can you ever love someone
who has been claimed by the devil
and tainted with poisonous blood?
