Rotting In My Body (trigger warning)

Before I knew what you truly were

you were my best friend,

I could tell you my most vital words;

you were tall & charming

How could I resist?

I was so attached to the feeling of you,

I felt human in your presence

but now that I see your true invasion,

I wish I could unmeet you

& never get to know you so well,

I wish I could unsee you

& never know the way your skin hangs off of your body,

I wish I could end our friendship

& you'll never know the way my skin hangs off my body,

but every time I come back crawling to your straggling body

I end up on my bathroom floor

carving your pain into my skin

until my bones are dry.
