I’m the cancer that defiles your heart –
from inside, splitting your memories apart.
Preying on your mind –
from the dark corner of your eye,
I seize your smile and hide it from sight.

In the morning, you wash your face
with tears you shed last night,
and hear my scream echoing through the silence –
You are a part of me, happily trapped in my violence.

Look at the glorious havoc I wrought,
across your body, marks I placed.
Mutated your feelings, made them clot –
You were the best I’ve ever tasted.
