face down
you carved your initials on my bare back
my skin was aching
on the fresh new incisions
that you left there
vulnerable and naked
from the impressions
your touch left
i felt cut up
from the inside out
bleeding
from the incisions
that you left there
you carved your initials on my bare
back
my sheets were covered in blood
you twisted your knife
in the stale pulp of my heart
you left it beating
in your cold hands
you carved your initials on my bare
back
