parasite
i think he broke me
i never knew i could feel like this
safe
content
held
warm
home
how can i be alone after this?
when ive found a new home in his chest
when he's hollowed me out and taken my ribs
can i take them back now?
im scared to trust you with my fragile bones
hollow inside
a swallow quivering under my heartbeats
lips to skin
teeth to flesh
an unusual softness to the pain
hold me as the world caves in and touch me as we hear the sounds of the outside closing in
i can't hear their screams through the cavity of your chest
a gruesome silence
remove my eyes and bind them
remove my lungs and breath them in
steal my oxygen so i can live inside you
until this garden of souls becomes overgrown
and the parasite is loved again
