xtrasloppy in Poetry & Free Verse

Snatch

You slither underneath my skin,

I taste the taint that you dragged in.

Such jealousy steeps in your veins

A bitter hint of what you’d claim.

Contorting and bending, you’d reshape my bones

Open me wide, make my body your own.

Crack my ribs open and pull them apart,

You’ll need more room so get rid of the heart.

Peel back my spine and crawl into my chest

Perched on my lungs, I’ll surrender my breath.

Squeeze down past my womb and nest in my hips,

Stretch yourself out and insist that it fits.

Meld your skin to my insides and call me your name

We are me I am you we are one and the same.
