Cold Kisses Love The Harm 1/4

Your laughter shatters the ear
Like a dropped glass

Your caress cuts deep
Like the shard missed by the broom

Your cold kisses love the harm they do.

"Tes froids baisers aiment le mal qu'ils font"

Parsing out text from other languages into English always gets out of hand whenever I try it. Translation is theft.)
