Not a love i will give to you

poisoned lips

honeyed words

tongues swirling around

in frenzy

but our mouths

don't have

the space to house

our manic love(?)

and we let it spill

onto the carpet

your teeth

have won

the be(as)t

and your words

will wreak havoc

on my fingertip(s)

didn't your mama

ever tell you

to not play

with fire

when it's war(m)

tear me down

mark that demesne

where you house

your lonely

lucifer

starving like

a gutter rat

my skin has

never seen (r)age

like you have shown

and it wants

to reek of the

vengeance

you promised her dead heart

that has the imprint

of a stranger's body

she sells

her soul

on the streets

to those

who give her

the br(own) paper bags

her sister took away

honey y(our) lover

is a greedy eclipse

running to devour

the moon our bodies

melt into

when the songs

on the loop

forget what lyrics are

and the tune turns

sour like the rotten milk

your mother's breast yielded

to another when

your body was too full

of sin to take in any more

and hers empty like

the postscript

of the letters your mistress

sends you.
