Knife Between Kisses

You taste like mercy on the edge of steel

A promise that cuts until it's real

Every wound writes what I can't say

Love was never meant to fade this way

I watched the light die in your stare

Lips still warm, but nothing there

You said forever—tongue of flame

Now every breath repeats your name

Your lips say stop, your pulse says stay

We always burn, we never fray

A knife between kisses, a promise in red

We worship the moment we're nearly dead

I'd die for the heat in the sound of your breath

Love carved in motion, devotion to death

I count the scars like rhythm and rhyme

Every touch another line

You pull away, I drag you near—

Affection speaks in teeth and fear

We talk in breaths, not words, tonight

Our shadows blur beneath the light

Bite the truth and bleed the vow

No one's watching, no one now

We are the fire that eats its skin

Nothing left but what's within

Crucify the silence—let it sing

Every cut a binding ring

A knife between kisses, a promise in red

We worship the moment we're nearly dead

I'd die for the heat in the sound of your breath

Love carved in motion, devotion to death

If love is damage wearing grace

Then let me break inside your face
