you showed me a drop of water

and i dove in like it was an ocean

you became mildly sweet

so i bathed in moon dust

you handed me a twig

and i scaled it

as if it was an oak tree

you tried to give me your heart slowly

but i reached into your chest and took it for myself

before you could even realize you were bleeding
