Kay C

soul-tied by barbed wire

you are the very piece that disrupts my entire being

keep it

its whittled for your own hand.

claim my heart, eat upon my soul

without you, i am empty

purgatory love, undeniable grief

lend me your voice, your desires, your stars

i’ll give them back after i tattoo them upon my skin

engraved on me forever

never yours, but forever yours.
