crush me

i crawl into your skin,

i am a bat and you are a cave.

i die as your lips pull me in,

to touch them is all i crave.

mesh with me and we can be one,

a pile of flesh and hearts and bones.

oh, wouldn’t that be so fun?

each other as our only homes.

crush me down with the weight of your stare,

your waning crescent eyes full of life.

bore into my skull till i pull out my hair,

stab into my heart with your fire steeped knife.

i’ll bleed out all my love and want and need

but you’ll never know, all you see is crimson.

nothing to see, hear, nothing to read.

down into the bed, i pull my limbs in.

a bed of dirt and grass and earth,

a casket ready and waiting for me.

you’ve killed me before i’ve found our worth.

oh what we could have been.
