gravestones and a lully-bye for my love

By spaniellie

i want to cut you open
to finally have your heart
to bring truth to the feelings
we had from the start
i want to bathe in your blood
while you sleep
i will cut you open
carefully, fast, and deep
i want to climb inside of you
so i will stop feeling cold
i can feel all your feelings
without them being told
and when i feel content
i will climb back out
each stich filled with love
and not one without
i will sew you up so neatly
you would never guess
i spend every night with your heart
quietly in your chest

i only hate you because i love you when i care
when i was cold and naked you left my skin pale and bare

you only love me because you care when i hate you
despite all the actions that never fell through
ive been there for you

i want to cut you open
just to see your insides
i want to see all the things
that you've been trying to hide
i want to slit your throat
to hear your muffled scream
tare out your eyes
so i can watch you dream
