Masochist

i injected love into my veins,

And now it parades through my

Guts,

Stomach,

Lungs,

Head

Like a cancer,

Clawing its way to the deepest depths

Of my dilapidated psyche.

It promises to uncover my guarded heart

And cradle it like a loving mother.

“Shh,

Shh,

Shh!

No need for fear.

I’ve got you.

All will be alright,”

It says right before the deed:

The crusty, black mass

Penetrates the flesh,

Sucking,

Slurping,

Siphoning

Every ounce of blood

Until an indistinguishable mass

Appears in place of

A once thriving heart.
