Young Blood and the Steal
they are easy
they are warm
one was a criminal
who wanted young blood still
white waves upon his head
crashed right into young blood
took it to the hilt
raised the action
wrapped the sweetness
to his own satisfaction
they are clean and wiry
but young blood was true
she found in the smoothness of
the steal an antidote
her sounds the sounds of
a petal stealing the note back
it echoes brightly
young blood was here
