I sit across from you
with this stake in my back
blood dripping from all corners
just how you like it
rare
and raw
You coloured me blue
wanted it so
so made it so
and now the lights all gone
drained from the depths
leaving on darkness
Not even these candles
beside your careless chalice
will illuminate passed this past-shadow
binary boundaries of black and white
keep you at just arms length
But arms length is enough
arms length is all I need
and I’ll serve your silver plate
— ice cold to touch —
just the way you are
but cut far deeper
than any gash now graze you have me
far deeper
than you ever could
