Question

Funeral Lace


How can I prove the depth of my love for you,
When words fall silent in its worth?

Instead, I trace this blade's cold steel
Across my vulnerable, unguarded breast
For what could I devote to you,
If not the treasure in my chest?

As I carve into my heaving flesh,
Quivering hands delving into myself
Ripping free my core from strings,
A pulse that only beats for you

Before I kneel and give you my all,
I wrap my heart in funeral lace
As blood weeps through my hands;
You are all I ever bled for

With open palms and hollowed ribs,
I beg of you, let this heart be yours
For I gave you my soul's offering;
May the bloodstains recall
My every pain and suffering.

Unwrap this bloodstained lace,
Tell me I am eternally yours.
