vampire tooth
red
thirsty
surrendering me
my blood
a serving
of dependable love.
Tag: toxic love
Words burn the silence.
Tears quaking my body.
He loved my anger because it meant I was still his.
I loved it too for the same reason.
Vibrating cage bars
braced between my palms
aching from holding on too long.
My pride turned the key.
I still hold the ashes.
I stopped calling them passion.
