Caught up in bereavement
we seduced each other.
You took a part of me with you.
Now let me brood.

Drain the *****
then the blood.
An epty shell
devoid of
anything
you can offer
to this
dead-end game.

We choose the poison
that will ****
our beauty
second
by
second,
drip
by
drip.

... until we growl away, taken further into the darkness.
