` star-filled corpse

[cherubim]

i, an ocean
stygian & breathing turmoil
coax you into my waves
drawing back, back, back-
oh! but then i swell, bringing forth
such a devastating wave
that swallows you whole.
and yet and yet and yet
you stay, you beg for more.

[cherubim]

i yearn for nothing more than your soft skin gliding against mine,
the gentle thrum of your heart against my hardened hands,
your heartfelt words mouthed into my scarred chest,
your gossamer body melting into my own diseased corpse,
breathing life into my lungs, my heart, my veins, my brain.

[cherubim]

my claws, they latch onto your supple skin,
begging you please please please
stay with me, don't leave me, don't hate me.
yet you have done nothing to hint at this -
it's all in my brain, my bug infested brain.
it's hollow, just as my heart, and no longer can I be sane
just how much more are you willing to take?
just how much longer are you willing to stay?
