capitano

i obey your absence, i break and maul; i destroy the kitchen, myself, the bed. for you, i learn the art of staying dead.

i am the willing victim of a cannibal. she rips out my bones just like i’m an animal.

did i lose my humanity when i lost my heart?

⠀you can lean on my arm as you break my heart.

press the gun into my mouth and call me pretty when you pull the trigger.
