two rings

Take a bite out of my heart

Let me know how that tastes

When love doesn’t live here anymore

When nothing exists, My heart turns

To dust and my bones

Being to decay. When teeth

Fall out, just stick them in

My brain: where thoughts of

Us used to live and sing. Now

Only dark things dance in the

Middle of the day. When I

Said I loved you, I meant it.

I gave you my world and you

Ate it. Before myself, I would

Place you on a pedestal, with

Berries and branches with love

And feathers. I just ask you one

Thing, 

            “take my heart, step on

My soul, but please dear god

Leave my nose whole”
