Heart  Stealer

Your deceitful lips burn like acid

Against my own

‘til my melting flesh no longer clings

To the once secreted bone

I stand unshielded from the world

While you mock what I’ve become

And yet you’re still unfinished

You force me to succumb

You enter through my ribs to take

Hold my beating heart

As your baleful tongue laps up the blood

I feel my soul depart

Your eyes pass through my being

Now just a withered, empty shell

Then you toss me in a pile

And drag me down to hell

The shells of those before me

Lay disheveled on the ground

You refuse to let me leave

Yet you don’t fancy me around
