love me cancerously
let it start in my brain
let my cells start to rot
take over every single ounce of my thought
let it spread to my throat
let my cells wage a war
you left these marks on my neck, but i long for more
let it crawl to my lungs
let my cells suffer death
i'll give you everything as you take away my breath
let it bleed into my stomach
let my cells absorb these medicinal lies
i'm already too far gone--i'm taken over by butterflies
let it take root between my thighs
let my cells mutate
i'll let you love me there-- use my lust as bait
let it rush into my legs and down into my toes
let my cells become one giant cancerous growth
my sanity, or this love-- i can't choose both
let this cancer spread
finally
into my heart
it's where this poem ends
but really
where it starts
