Sinking My Teeth Into You
It once belonged to me,
but you’ve since traded it it,
exchanging every sacrifice,
every fiber of my life,
for your new world
your new wife.
I’m covered in blood
we brought into this world,
but it stains only your hands.
As I watch the souls
I brought into this world,
leave silently, innocently,
I picture biting into your chest,
tearing, ripping, gnawing
veins and arteries
as you scream
and bleed,
your blood puddling
with your sons.
And I’ll ask you,
was it worth it?
