their metallic lick along my teeth, leaving blankets of acidic cavities. Every time your name appears beneath the frenzy that I tried so hard to ignore, I write my eulogy.
You killed me by leaving me. The installation of expectations that perhaps you could return, fully set me up for devastation.
Corrosion slinks in the pores of my sore tongue demons replacing your face stung.
