kerosene

kerosene

three karat, caret three <3 
i’ve got a lamp and kerosene 
it glows by moonlight and heresy 
i believe in making up 
and therapy 
if i call for you 
will you come for me? 
if i fall for you 
will you run from me? 
three carrots, two buck teeth 
i’ve got a fast heart that thumps for free 
it grows from my chest 
and runs down my sleeves 
if it bleeds on you 
will you wash us clean? 
if it bleeds on you 
will you know what it means?
