Oh my friend
I feel the weight of you in my pocket
as I walk these endless halls
with careless faces
that spit words without waiting to see where they fall
where my mind wanders from the blackboards
and longs for relief from my suffering
you tickle me with your edge
prodding and poking until
I raise my hand
ask to be excused
walk the same hall
enter that room
and succumb
Oh my friend
who comforts me on long nights
when the dark seems to press in from all sides
you howl my name from the night
stand
begging for another bite
pleading to feel yourself between my shaking fingertips
and I oblige
Oh my friend
with me always
you keep me sane
and when you ask for another scar?
You compel me to listen.
So I obey
Oh my friend
who screams for blood on the red tiled floor
yearning for more, always more
keening a song if I try to stay away
who always comes back with a vengeance
Oh my friend
take another piece of me
take another bite
another drop
make a river with my offering
s
make a tsunami with my lifeblood
Oh my friend
you are calling again now
I can hear you screeching from the drawer
I hold the key in trembling hands
I wish I was stronger but I am not
my body is proof enough of that
torn by your constant needs
marred by your incessant thirst
ravaged by your sharp tongue
scarred by your edge
tear my sides
my wrist
my legs
my heart
take me
Oh my friend
I am not strong enough to resist you
I will succumb once again to your call
to your will
to your lust
take me as you will my friend
take every part of me
leave nothing unscathed
every droop of blood upon your edge
Take me my friend
leave me nothing
my friend
Oh my friend
my friend
take me
