So you dug your claws into

The bare skin on my back

And breathed into my ear

That I looked tastier than a snack

I lunged for the dirt and found the cross

Stabbing you in the eye with it

And then I scrambled up and was gone

They found three bodies

Close to my complex

And you were in the crowd

Pale and long haired elegance

Crimson brown irises

You were staring at me

And asked if we could get a drink

The next day.

So you lied. And I found the wine

Tasted like sweet metal.

Your blood in my system

You wish to kill me?

We’ve been together for months

And I felt safe. Why now?

Is it the golden moon?

Is this how you played your game

With all your victims?

So easily we went out on dates

And you kissed me under the grey sky.

We made love in your truck

In the quiet wood. You whispered haughty

Things. You lapped at my wetness

And we kissed passionately through the night

Until we met again and again

“Hold me.” I obey. You say I make you

Laugh. And you like how we have tiny details

In common. Strawberry ice cream.

Art is our body. We embrace day and night after work. And you’re smile is all I need

When I ran I wanted to die right then

Because you chased me and loved it

And you pinned me to the hard wood floor

Scraping and bruising my skin

Where you used to leave kisses.

I’m screaming with anger and crying

My heart is broken, kill me now.

You give me ten seconds to run.

I grab the cross on the fireplace

And run out the door into the wild.
