Whore

come
feed me
your silence

pursed lips
eyes shut
all the excuses
all sewn up

she was
the worst thing
that ever happened
to you

and you still
love her

don't act so
innocent

you say
fix me

you say
I'm looking
for the door

I say
those were jewels
in my eyes

before I drowned
the waste
time
and silence

pretty fingers
all the way
down my throat

plucking frayed wires
out like
worms
that day slipped

and I saw you go
with her
still vile under your tongue

I slipped under
swollen
whore to better men
than
you

and twice as gold
as any
burning
dawn
