pierce my tongue with your lips
and shred away my flesh
like carnage flaking off the core
of the mangled body
belonging to the man who so naively
believed that love
was worth dying for

irreversible false platonic mines
were planted on the skirts of my body like
a weed in the garden bed
growing profoundly even when
the rain drowned all fidelity of beauty out
and the sun burned all hope down
and all that remained
was a shard of deadly tainted grass

take my body, i said
and make me something more
make me something, a priceless jewel
that i had never been before

well by now, looking back
its dangerously safe to say
that you changed me entirely
i was never this, never wished to be this
never once was there a frayed end of longing
that hoped to be this hollow damaged demon

down your life like a bottle of wine
to be thrown over your shoulder
and crash like a gunshot down the alleyway
shatter into pieces and kill your eyes
i didn’t want my life to be like yours

so here i am
the perfect copy of you
so here i am
the perfect copy of a wasted soul
