Your kiss burned my eyes.
A light so bright
It just showed me
Where the darkness is.

It’s around me,
Even in me,
Except in that circle
Around that tear.

I don’t usually cry
When I taste the lips
That someone else
Has shared with me

But this time, it’s you:
Heart wrenching,
Love struck,
Perfect.

Your kiss burned my eyes.
This time,
The darkness
made space.
