Devour Me
Can you put your cigarette out on me?
Please, just let me burn bright for a second.
I'll hold still I won't cry, the medicine made sure of it
It's late, can I stay with you?
Just for tonight?
Can you hold me?
Pet my hair, please, tell me I'm good
I'll pretend to be whoever you're missing when you kiss me
My skin is soft if you keep the lights off
I'll shut my mouth and keep my teeth to myself, even if the hunger aches
Glide the blade across my skin til it splits
The blood will look like cherry pits, and I'll kneel into it
To lap it off your shoe
I won't leave a mark behind to inconvenience you with
I just want this feeling to scar instead of fade.
L
Devour Me
