i don't expect anyone to understand, that's why nobody knows. why i don't tell anyone, how our relationship is - right in it's vile, rotten core.
it feels incomprehensible, sacred, almost like a religion of our own, which if other people witnessed in it's raw shape, they might rather look away. and it's better that way. this is just us, for us.
a naive, lonely little animal, always yearning for something she couldn't have, grew up into something feral, full of painful hunger. you opened that little animal from sternum to hip, spilling what's inside her in front of you. you handled her guts, the very fabric of her being, braided them to be beautiful, perfect. once stitched back inside the abdomen, she had to learn how to live with your bitter touch inside her, without being able to have more.
yet we find each other, time and time again. and this time we will stay intertwined until one of us stops breathing. you might not own my body completely, but that is far from important. you have reached your hand into my chest and wrapped your hand around my heart, squeezing it just a little too tight. and i won't let you let go of it. you can't. i would simply bleed out.
i am the very altar you pray from, your sacrifical lamb. your one and only devoted follower. and i will never escape that. you carved yourself into my bones, rewrote the patterns of my skin. i live inside you, to the point where i'm unable to tell where you end and i begin. no matter what, my being is surrendered, forever changed by you - sick, vile, ruined.
