Shards of jagged words remain in my heart A serrated reminder of my former love For you consider crushing souls an art Deceit punctuated by how often you cheat Let’s touch cheek to cheek like we used to do Arm swaddled in a parasitic embrace I missed the way your blade felt in my lungs A pleasured look on that pretty face Don’t stop the evisceration just yet Go ahead darling, watch the scarlet river gush There’s no reason for me to fret I’ve already been slaughtered once
