Dagger

Water balloon organs make up my shape

Swelling with emotional fluids

forever amplifying, squishing together

My emotions are no longer separate

 

My maudlin heart rests its head

on the shoulder of my claustrophobic lungs

They breathe heavily in the intimacy

of such a dangerous seduction

They're panting like a canine in heat

it's such a perilous defeat

 

All of these water balloons

Swelling with emotional fluids

Lose their shape when stabbed

by your dagger fingers

by your dagger teeth

by your dagger tongue

by your dagger words

They're so filled with holes

and my fluids flow freely

mixing together in a scarlett sea

a potion of swelling emotion

You and your daggers

are attracted to deformation

which is why you think my swaying back

that keeps me from standing upright

is so ****

At least my suffering is ****

Not that I have anyone to be **** for anymore
