To your disgust ode to me

"I drink wine like it's your
Blood because I know
It's the only way I'll get
You inside me.

Really who think me.
Really part of me.
Twist my veins into a
Rope
And hang your neck
With the arms that
Would have held you for eons to come.

I could rip you limb from limb.
I could use my fingernails as talons,
Rape your longing out.
My shoulders as walls.
My name as weapons.

I could do what you wanted.
I could be a dream.
I could love you.

I could hurt you."
