Tears fall from stinging eyes
He carves her name
His love
He smiles, wincing
He feels no physical pain
He hears her
Feels bruises left by her
Mother?
She spits acidic words
They burn him
From inside out
He hears him
Father..
His dull words carve out holes
In his cracked, bloody heart
He hears his love
Her words of kindness
Shill he carves
His legs, bloody
Begin to hurt, ache
He smiled
His hard work complete
A masterpiece
She is forever with him
His parents, still
They hurt him
Is this love?
They hurt him
Their venom
Their words
Run into his blood
Through weak veins
Straight to his heart
He curls up in her arms
Her warmth
He shivers; frozen
Is her warmth enough?
Her lips smile
Her eyes cry
Her heart breaks
Bleeds for him
He is her life
Her home
Her heart
Venom reaches his heart
His flesh
Freshly-laid snow
A gothic winter wonderland
She cries
Slumped over
Holding her still heart
Close to her
