No
I don't want death
I want someone
who once close to my heart
won't poison it
with their tongue
someone
who won't bite hard
or take too much
from my fragile arms
Hold my scars
in your kind hands
hold this delicate throat
without crushing it
use your knives
to cut my dinner, not my wrists
and carry this husk
until it's whole
please
I promise you won't regret it
