Mama, why do you turn away?

It's like you never want to look me in the eyes
Until you are screaming,
Then all I see is a blaze of who you want me to be.

A bleeding creature, mother and child,
What curse have you turned upon me?
That which I have always been destined to stumble before,

Is that which still hurts most deeply.

I have an odd wish
To be devoured
To be known in my entirety
studied and then, inexplicably,
I want to be destroyed.

Taste me and spit me out
But know my taste
And know it well.

And moonlight
And dark eyeliner.
There is soft hair, inexplicably,
I want to be destroyed.

Savour me. Me, a saviour.
I want to bless the mouth
Of a starving monster
So they will never, ever
Forget the sight of me.

Nor the feel of me
Upon a rough tongue
