Blood & Tears

by Wing Tang Wong

 I taste salt,
 In your blood,
 I think, they are tears.

Please, I don't know
 But I care,
 For you

In this darkness
 I can only reach for
 And feel.

Your soft skin
 Your silken hair
 Your wet cheeks

I pull you close
 Hold you tight
 In my arms

Please, I don't know
 But I feel
 Your Pain

Embracing you
 I can feel your trembling
 And your tears

Falling down you cheek
 Falling upon my arm
 Sad wetness

I lean closer
 Close my eyes
 And bite

Please, I know
 So I drink
 Your Pain

I taste blood
 Upon my lips
 I know there are tears,

Yours and mine.
