Where Evil Flowers Bloom

Are you brave enough to burn me?

Can your touch

cauterize these wounds?

Scorch me from the inside out,

Then make your embrace 

my tomb.

Can your torment

Follow me?

Haunted scars that

chase me in my dreams,

Tell me, are you strong enough

To strangle misery?

Will you lay with me

Where evil flowers bloom;

Forever chained

In a bed we made

Beneath the crescent moon?

Are you brave enough

To force me to my knees,

Break my will

Kiss me until

I beg for clemency?

Will you chase me

Through my darkness

Even 

when its weakened you?

Can you inhale the shadows

That make me run

Until we're both consumed?

Are you afraid

Now that you've seen

My claws and teeth?

You can only love a beauty,

If you're

brave enough to

Tame a beast.
