Your presence clings to me,

Like fresh paint, a second skin.

I split myself open,

And let you slither in.

Wrap yourself around my bones,

Carve your name into my heart.

Turn this body into dust,

Shatter me apart.

Darling, bring me to my knees,

Consume me, take my life.

I’ll be your blood-stained canvas,

And you can be my knife.
