A hole opened in me
And it swallowed my heart.

It continued to grow,
Quickly and quietly,

Until it devoured
My cigarette burnt lungs.

Next was my liver,
Stained with alcohol.

My empty belly followed,
And then all at once,

My nerves, gone. My tongue, gone.
My throat and eyes, ears, gone.

But my mind remained.
It stayed behind to survey

The empty cavern of
What was once my body.

No screams were heard then,
No cries of grief or sadness.

Only the sound of your name
Rattling my brittle bones.

Your name, and his,
Mixing together in

A poison, a potion
With no known antidote.
