The tiny needles sting
Making me bleed internally
Pain – sweet and bitter
Unexplained.
Wearing my heart
On my sleeve like a charm.
Your love, an amulet;
A holy candle burning bright
Am in trance with
Your spirit within me
Like a poison spreading
Possessing me…
A spell cast by your voodoo.
For - ABC Wednesday "V"

It is scary...hmmm... plus I don't like voodoos, there's something in it... but this also means what you wrote was so intense that I felt it. The bleeding part seems so real...
