This Is War

Poking and prodding at old wounds,

Like a dog's unattended tongue,

They infuriate themselves,

As the blood flows once more.

It showed me the truth, it showed me his soul, and I understood for the briefest moment.

Then I saw.

Tongue that cut in the roof of your mouth until it flows red with life.

Tomorrow is always a new day, unless you told it to replicate once more.

She'll dance me to death if I follow, and her words are a poison I've never tasted before. Maybe she'll allow me thirty seconds to catch my breath while I study the concept of love and warfare.
