Addicted to you
and the paranoia
you sowed in
me I rip-clawed
banshee-wild
scratching out
from your eyes
hot flames
once devouring
minuscule hope
hiding out in
the cracks of
symphysis col-
lapsing under
beings you hot-
pricked
pricked
one sorry
jab at a time
from the
slithering spike
of your slippery psychopathy
slithering spike
of your slippery psychopathy
