Two hearts beating, twisting, Cautiously spiraling from, Within one center, giving, Life to the other, pulsing, As one. Love, Passion seeping, Beneath the skin and into, Open wounds, Becoming, Part of the being, A welcomed parasite. Throbbing, coursing delicately, Through scar tissue, and veins, Buried and devouring, Red and tender flesh, settling into, A new home.
