to a big fat juicy heart

To S,

And when you gave me
your heart
I didn't know
if you gave it to me
Or me.

I was too scared to hold your
Big Fat
Juicy
Heart.

I warned you
once and twice and thrice
how I can't feed
my hunger
for love
and understanding
with a bent shoulder
for a pillow

I want big fat juicy hearts

And
when I get a big fat juicy heart
I bite
I tear
I drink
I lick

I crush it
in my palm
and I place it
in my shelf

I can't let the big fat juicy heart
forget my love

This Draculaine
is always so hungry
and when you gave me
your big fat juicy heart
and told me
you will never go away
even when I warned you

I had already had a taste.

My bloody fangs
didn't want another
big fat juicy heart
as long as you stayed.

As long as you hung back to consider me your friend.

I like you too much and I respect you too much.

Don't ever fall in love with me, S.

I can't ever fall in love with you either.

Yours affectionate,
A
