backhanded(rehash)

when you etch the edges
in deepening degrees
darken the line
and i dig it like deep
lip whisper the lies
each echoes the same
benedictions release
the perennial flame
you're my villain and valor
eyes outlined and rust
you burn it on me and in
but enough's out of touch
when you leave you better kiss me
the flagrant and callow
there's ghosts in the walls
and the bridges are shallow
and she smells like she's wet
like road to promise and pain
our blood and sweat mingle
lost with our tears in the rain
gravel palms skin
and killing with blindness
irreparably within
dusk and the kindness
