DEATH ROTS OFF HER SKIN it festers in the cracks & spreads like a DEADLY disease. it ravages through her veins searching for the cracks to decay what was one good & contaminate so good things can no longer grow. kill her, kill her, slit her at the belly & let the beast free. it will slide out between the ribs M E A T Y . shoot it once, shoot it twice & let the Meadowes blood run dry. skin rests beneath your touch, soft & sweet, an armor to protect what is underneath, a cage to keep the beast rattling beneath its cage of ivory IN. forbidden is your touch lingering at a ship that threatens destruction with every sway. holy, holy, your hand praises as it t r a v e l s up to caress the gallows of her ribs. in the shadows of THIS night, you like to tease mortality & taunt the guillotine. up, your fingers rise to stop her spiteful mouth to brush against your lips. we shouldn’t, we shouldn’t. Eve ate the apple, but you have lost your teeth to taste another kind of forbidden flesh.
stoic, you lay beneath her lips, two petals scorned by thorns & is more accustomed to S T A B B I N G threats than to utter a lover’s name. you are not hers & she is not yours. so l o o s e l y you are caught in the web, your voice echoing twice, we can’t, we can’t. never letting it stray to we shouldn’t. ‘ I know, ’ she breathed against your hands, talons folding into your shirt to hold you close. carmine stained lips, a pucker, a b r u s h to the calloused pads. the dance commenced again as each fingers traced the curve of malicious temptation. slowly, to savor the feel what can never be pressed against your lips. featherlike to make you believe that maybe it could have not happened. be the match to her doused touch, ignite & burn & shrivel in the smoke. but you, don’t. let your fingers be ignited by her touch instead. maybe drink more to dull an addiction. ‘ and we’re not, ’ acerbic atonement, don’t dig into the graveyard of skin to find that she wants to kiss your lips too ; SHE MAY EAT YOUR HEART as well, never trust a raven’s gawk.
