Love is a blade
Polished enough to pray to
Everyone knows it cuts—
Still
We touch it with bare hands
Church bells drown in a cloudy sky
Like a festival already over
Red fabric drifts along the street
Blessing or mourning—I can’t tell
My heart still leans toward you
Reckless, beautifully naive
But every scale we stand on
Tilts calmly to your side
Oaths that taste like blood
Wrapped in elegant words
“Forever”
Is such a refined poison
Love is a double-edged blade
Hold it close—I disappear
The soul I handed to you
Never learned how to return
Love is a double-edged blade
A quiet, graceful suicide
When I love you too deeply
I lose the shape of myself
I didn’t kneel
I only placed you
Higher than me
If that is love
Then
It’s almost
Too well designed
You smile—perfectly satisfied
Eyes already somewhere far away
The cup I filled with my blood
Rests dry in your elegant hand
I’m still standing here
Yet my shadow stretches long
Across the stone floor
After the celebration ends
Poison works better
When it takes its time
Even pain
Deserves a sense of style
I won’t accuse you—
That restraint
Is my final dignity
Love is a double-edged blade
Too finely sharpened
To simply throw away
So tonight
I wipe the blood from my hands
Wear a flawless expression
And love you
As if nothing ever bled
