Frailty

[violet]

her callous tongue pecks at my skin

perfectly crafted words gnaw every cell

Methodically

until i am no longer impervious to the force

arms, constricting and cold enter every crevice

sliding downward into my core

she is inside of me

Writhing

Scratching

stealing my nourishment

i am becoming frail

thin and breakable

she is peeling away muscles and membranes

feasting from inside

Tearing

Cracking

savoring the last pieces

maybe once she has stripped my skeleton clean

she will leave me alone

a pile of broken bones
