You Were So Beautiful...

I. Under.

You were beautiful.
Beautiful...
I never noticed that when I was
alive.

You may have thought you looked wild.
Scary.
But you weren't.
You weren't.
You were so beautiful...

II. Before & After.

You kissed me good luck instead of goodbye.
You left me in the alleyway.
I wanted you to.
I didn't want you to see.
See my insides.
See what bound me to this parasite of flesh.

So I sent you away.
Sent you to buy sweets and cakes
that we could share after the operation.
You were so happy when you left...
But so nervous...

And when you came back
you looked so sad.
So devastated.
You clung to by body
and my soul clung to you.

III. Sustenance and Satisfaction.

It has never been easy for
us.
My insatiable appetite,
and your jealousy.
But still we loved,
as true
lovers
loved.
