last night i woke up cold
adrenaline like nicotine in my blood
the dream itself was black and empty,
heavy like ice water,
& i was there alone
w a i l i n g  : brokenhearted

anger chokes me
it festers in my throat
& burns my tongue

happiness is like a golden apple between my teeth
oh so rare & oh so sweet

you taste rich like german chocolate cake
the scent of you : sweet sweat & secondhand smoke
your breath hot against my neck

i want to cry but i won't

like an injection between your toes
she's the highest rush when she's there
& the most sickening pain when she's gone

drink my blood
eat my heart
swallow my tongue
crack my bones & **** out the marrow
i have enough to go around

cavernous mouths howling & snapping
flat wide tongues flapping
razor teeth glint in the moonlight
eyes yellow like the sun
their breath heavy & hot
a scent like dead leaves & musk
claws snick the pavement  
they surround us as we fall under their spell
content to be devoured
