“why’d ya leave me baby?
didn’t ya love me no more?”
she lay humming between his hairy legs, a lit fag in her hand
“I did love ya” he moaned
“I always did and I knew ya loved me too”
“then why’d ya leave me baby?”
“to get the fuck away.
away from it all
from this place,
away from these people and
away from all the places around these people
and the hate and gossip between these people
There was nothin’ left for me here.”
“I was here. I was still here”
he stroked her head and curled her cracked hair
with his dry and dirty hands
“when I was away I had so many women
I had every kind of woman-
big, small, white, black, red, yellow-
but I never had none like you, darling
I never had anyone’s heart in my hands like yours
when I went away I thought I left nothin’ behind
when I was gone I knew I’d left everything behind”
she grabbed his hand and put his finger in her mouth
“I came back for you”
she put the cigarette out on his chest and bit down as hard as she could
he yelped in pain and jumped up
she fell to the floor and he looked at the fountain of blood that was once his finger
from the floor she bit his leg, chewed off a piece
he fell down again, screaming in agony
“you came back for an easy fuck
you dirty little pig”
and she finally bit his neck, ending his life
