METABOLIC

You reek of rape and suicide
But I can get past that
These thoughts which I must always hide
Scurry away like rats
Blinded by that flashlight beam
Illuminating your latest crime scene
I will never be the one
In that body bag full of your art
‘Cause I grabbed you by the balls
And squirmed right up into your heart
And I consume you. I distract you.
I make you paranoid.
At night I tell you stories
About other men I have destroyed
I think I may have changed you
Turned your will of stone to dust
I never told you my secrets
But yours are kept safe in my trust
When you come to me with wild eyes
And bloodstains on your clothing
I never ask you where you’ve been
I don’t fill with fear or loathing
I just wash away the stains
And play the game as if it mattered
Knowing that you know that I know
In my presence
Your ego is shattered
Your smile is so hesitant
In my arms oh how you quiver
This is how my love breaks down
Like toxins in the liver
