Bloodlust

I’m not asking you to fall on a sword

to prove your affection but

once in awhile a little jealousy

wouldn’t hurt

just enough green to indicate

your heart’s really in this and

keeps is what you’re playing for.

So I’m not asking you to fall

on a sword but

once in awhile a knife

or small dagger would be enough

for you

to press me to your lips

and stop the bleeding.
