I'll never let you reach
The corner of my eyes
Doubled footprints in the sludge
Missing shapes in the ash and dust
Clipped deep into the pink
Pinched with every stuttered gasp
Dead skin under your fingernails
Whistled airways and prominent veins
Snapping marrow and searing meat
Roll your eyes back as far as you can
Clenching teeth through the roof
Crushed fragments down my throat
Sour gaps and nervous ends
Taste of metal every time I see you
Arched hands with sharp knuckles
Cramping into rigor mortis
Turbulent until unconscious
And again, every time I think of you
Passive greed with no appetite
Bathing in gastric acid
Bounded and anchored by nausea
Un-swallowing thick, mashed pulp
Slicing through the walls
With ringing cords, tenfold
Cackling static
Overpowered
I see with my palms
On your softest parts
Feel the hot air
Leave saliva marks
Toothpicks in my eyelids
Dental prints on your curves
As I breathe your sweat
I don't care if you do
