Distasteful Sins
His rigid heart tore into me, my ribs cracking in his mouth
like the sound of fireworks on the fourth of july. he opened me
up like a pomegranate and sank his teeth into the outer layer
of my skin, absorbing my sins as the taste lingered
down
his tongue – allowing him to consume me whole. Splatters of red
slather across my face, the touch of_____covering my strained
eyes – drowning the sight of who I once was.
