Flowers of Flesh and Blood - Nicole Dollanganger

Legs and limbs and lips

All open with your fingertips

You make holes in me and little slits

You use as mouths for you to kiss

Close my plastic eyelids

You say this is the love we all hope to find

So don’t cry, don’t worry

You’re supposed to bleed the first time

The books, sad songs, and cinemas

They all lied, lied, lied

Why didn’t anyone tell me

Love is like being fucked with a knife?

With the blade on a butterfly

I’ll make a hole in you

I will kiss it and stick my tongue in it

Hard enough for you to feel it in your stomach

I’ll fist it with knuckles full of rings

Give you back the love you said was mine

So don’t cry, don’t worry

You’re supposed to bleed the first time
