Purple

[one bad word]

A purple liquid boils,
Inside me,
As I sweat and toil,
I submerge myself,
Beneath its skin,
Let the liquid,
Take me in,
My worse crime,
Was this passion,
The purple laced black,
This obsessive reaction,
I know you,
How you are bad,
Ruthless in transparency,
A challenge
that is not hard enough,
You're something I could manage,
Where's the fire?
The burning oil of desire?
We swim in purple,
A love unreal,
Not the right deal,
I'll give you time but how much?
Am I a bitch, a slut,
To use you for a tender touch?
Lock me away,
In prison I'll stay,
Lord forsake me,
Release my guilty passion,
For lust is not love,
Why give in to
toppled normality?
A smoke-filled
insanity,
Blurring out the stars,
Watch for this purple lace,
In the battering of my heart,
Quickening in pace,
Lust is not wrong,
My crime is living,
And I know too well,
Love is red,
And I am purple,
Just as good as dead.
