out of dozens
hundreds
thousands
you chose me
peeled back my skin
exposed me
you must've liked
what you found there
because then
you gutted my heart
greedily
as if you had never
tasted anything
so sweet before
I was not ripe
for the taking
but you took
and took
kept taking
acted surprised
to find me empty
when you're the one
who hollowed me out
objectified me
devoured me
