I am feeling it,
through my whole body,
feeling it cut with soul force,
feeling its penetration ,
feeling it like it should be felt,
for it comes out of pain.

Let me feel it with you
so I understand,
feel it in your cries,
your tears,
the broken edges
of you that have cut
through your will to live.

The two of us together,
the two become one:
feeling together,
our jagged dance through
this pain we share,
lying entwined,
in darkness we die.
