Black Heart
16
Hold my black heart tight, do like the others, have a lick, take a bite.
Heavy and dark but powering you through the night.
Invite your friends. As long as there’s any of me left, why regret?
Can a gift ever be theft?
Drink me dry. Let my love get you high, I don’t mind once you’re full you just leave me behind.
It’s only a black heart, fragile, worthless. but soft enough to thrill all of your empty hands. Doesn’t want to disappoint, is eager to please, until left behind in the sand.
Call my black heart, Oh it will come crawling,
hungry to serve and answer to your calling.
Those who consume me are burned, not reborn.
What feeds your desire will one day turn thorn.
You’ll hunger forever, never truly depart
you will always crave the
taste of my fragile,
black heart
