and he clawed at my skin
with flesh in his teeth
and he bit through the bone
I thought i heard his jaw break
I took a step towards the door
and I swore that id run away
I swore that I’d run away
but he got me to stay
and deep within my skull
his parasites lay eggs
and beg me to hold him
as they feast on my brain
And i took a run towards the road
and I swore that i’d drive away
I swore that i’d drive away
but he got me to stay
he held my head on the tracks
and i could only pray
that if god was real
she would not stop the train
and I wanted to be stronger
I wanted to be brave
but i couldn’t find a reason
to want to be saved
As the sun was setting
my elbows were bruised
my ankle was broken
and my teeth were loose
My blood was pumping
through the holes in my heart
my vision was vacant
my tongue was tart
The full moon was raging
his spine was twisted up
I howled at the monster
This isn’t anything
resembling
love.
