Like lightning
You dance in the darkness
Spreading yourself in all directions
It's hard for me to elude you
I'm captivated
Robbed of my soul
I serve you my blood dripping heart
On a plate made of star fire
I'm sure you have a whole collection
All propped up on dusty shelves
shriveled and dried up
lifeless little beasts
I wonder
Do you ever take them down
And think about the broken rib cages
About the intercostal spaces
Where you pressed your fingers deep
Do you think about the moon
And the stars during the gloaming hours
About the time the night sky covered
all our sins like a blanket
You can't hide from me
I saw your hollow face the night you
hijacked my soul
You ripped into me like a ravenous hyena
Laughing, laughing, laughing
As you left me there to rot.
