I want to take your heart
Shove it deeply into my cavities
Eat it with capers + lemon
Tender, tangy, tart
Just how I like my love
Served raw, glistening in hurt
Furrowed brows + living proof
Possession, but only one direction
You let me alone, I do me
It’s the lone method of survival
Give me all, your entrails
The inspiration of your gasp
Mine all mine
But to you, I am a blank coffin
Titanium, unbreached
That is the way
And walk on alone I will
If I must
Dripping your marrow from my
Bared fangs, lusty, uncompromising
I am life incarnate
Donate yours to perpetuate what
Must survive.
