Feed me the flesh beneath that tight suit fabric.
Let me dig my claws into those fine trousers
And tear them apart until every inch of your soul
Is keening in terror, baring itself to the starlight.
Arch like a bow, ripping toes from black earth,
Graveyard dirt.
Open your mouth and give me a pretty exhale,
A vocal exhale full of suffering and delight.
Look at that pretty picture of you, breaking for me,
Shattered on the ground in elegant little pieces
That I'm sure would cut if I dared to touch.
I am no fool; my fingers will stay far from you.
It's alright, you can't die from touch starvation.
Besides, look at you collapsed in the cemetery,
Curled desperately against these tombstones
For the warmth I refuse to give.
There is life inside you yet.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

The imagery you use is visceral and striking, a vivid sense of both menace and fascination. Incredibly done, Silver! 💌
I loved everything about this!! I so appreciate mixing the macabre/darkness with love/lust. I've been working on a vampire type dark poem for a few weeks now, so this just motivated me to get back to it :)
I don't know why but this seemed very lyrical to me and I sang it to my own tune. Loved how dark this was!
Oh, so creepy!! My skin is crawling! Well done, Silver!
Eerie!! 🩸🩸🩸
Dark and mysterious and yet I so craved reading this. Great work as always!
Ooohh, but I love a darkly woven vampire thread....well done.
So dark, yet so good. Well done.
This gave me a Vocal exhale! Again, that macabre and sensual mix that you do so well.
ooooooh...gruesome and kinda beautiful at same time. Love this a lot, Silver!
