    “Darling,
    who made you believe
    stumbling down the aisle
    was like marching to your death
    on bloodstained knees?

    How did it ever come to this?

    You,
    thinking love to be a monster
    sent to torch your lungs
    and make the atlas in your blood
    collapse future lineages
    because you’re afraid.”

    “You would steal
    their hearts
    with chopsticks.
    Suck the drip of sin
    from their bones.
    Scatter rose petals
    in their blood
    and make them
    fucking drinkable.”
