flash your will against me
relieve this red smear
smother the beating
dull the pulse
show mercy
spare it from your side
and i will rip
what was yours, what was living in me,
and return it to you
do it while our hearts are still intact
before they rot in each other's care
before they become riddled with bitterness
choked by sinking seeds
of resentment
