If I asked you
would you sever the skin
from your body
layer by layer
and blanket me
in your living flesh?
Maybe the nights would feel warmer.
If I asked you
would you bleed the blood
from your body
value from veins
and feed me
with the liquor that lives in you?
Maybe the pain would taste different.
If I asked you
would you ease your eyes
from your body
sight from sockets
so I that maybe
I could understand your vision?
Maybe the emptiness would look like less
and less
endless
the end of less and less.
I never asked you
but you fucked me over
anyway
to pleasure your flesh
to boil your blood
to darken your eyes
I never asked you!
Maybe
I should have asked
for something more!
