The Blood Between Us
(Death & Deviance Ode)
by Raine Wynd
 

you're the last person I expected to see
the moment I walked into the room
and all I can think of is that you look strange
as if you're missing something I used to think was you
and I pretend you're someone I didn't know that well
while all my senses scream otherwise

it's hard for me to be civil to you
when the blood between us could fill an ocean
and the memory of times long gone
has been tattooed on our souls
our friends can ask till they're gasping for breath
but you and I will never be what we need to be
