you bit my lip and watched me form into something new
it’s been months and the fire in my chest is still burning for you
the smoke from the fire has never left my clothes
I’ll never learn to keep my hand from the stove

I continue to catch myself walking in my sleep
As if there’s a cold dark void for my body to rest in
Any place to be away from your vile touch and sound
You spoke words that made my skin feel like I no longer wanted it to belong to me
