stuck in my body
we are as one
come closer
help me
this is his home


i find
splitters of diamond
stuck in my eyes

i knew
when i saw him for the very first time
that this man would cost me a horrendous price

i find ashes and iron
etched into my skin

all of these traces
carrying him
deep into my bloodstream and straight to the heart
he’s my holy drug
my lord
split me apart

i find
succulent tongues
like rumors at night

ensnaring
revolting
neither fear nor fright


i find
that
in every mirror
i see home
and as much as my love for this man
breaks me and builds me all at once
i cannot forget
can’t overcome

but as long as i’m his
and it’s his hands carrying me
i know i can be strong
i promise you
he’ll set me free
