Ingredients of You
My heart is
Starving
Weak
Malnourished
Neglected
Its need to be fed
Compassion
Love
Desire
Hope
Dreams
It waits for something
That it cannot remember
Then you came
Dancing
Singing
Loving
Glowing
Charming
My heart
A feral creature
It ripped
Your offerings into
Bloody chunks
Devouring them
Without chewing
Feeding its hunger
Ravaging your
Love
Body
Mind
Soul
Wanting so much
Amidst chaotic desperation
I forgot to ask
If you were
Safe to eat
So consumed to
Keep you near
Groveling
Begging
Fighting
Worshiping
To fill the void
I forgot to ask
I should have looked
At the ingredients
Seen that you
Were made of
Deceit
Lies
Selfishness
Betrayal
Poisoned charms
My bloated heart
Soured
Shriveled
Rotted
Died
And you left me
A broken toy
Twisted
Distorted
Used
Abandoned
An empty wound
In my chest
Where my heart
Once beat
