Description
You tugged at my shadows,
extinguishing
the flames
now dissipating
outward
(or below).

You broke my wires
and diffused
the last glow of
my heart-attack
(and nerves).

You peeled away my skin,
one layer
at a time,
and you pressed
your ear to
my pulse
(so deafening).

You coated your lips
in my blood,
withdrawing any colour
left within me
(or on me).

And you devoured
me whole.

I collected your
movements,
learned your patterns,
and you surrendered
your execution
(or expulsion).

I pieced myself
back together,
with your help,
and you stuffed me
back inside
my shell
(haphazardly).

I unfolded my cover
and spilled love-notes
on my pages
while you read,
and waited
for the next time
I was asphyxiated
(or numb).
