Chew

I kiss and sniff your arm when I wake from sleep

I want to take a bite to keep a morsel with me

Ill stick in in my lip like a hipster does with zyn

Carry it all day then in the morning do it again

And when the arm gets a little sparse ill switch sides

Ill convince you somehow cause I need it to get by

Without a piece of you with me at all times

I dont know who I am or if I can survive

Im addicted to your skin

I yearn for a little piece of flesh

Its what keeps me going

Its whats keeping me fresh

A nibble here and a small bite there

Once bones exposed id thought youd care

But so far nothing so again im masticating

Now im skipping and chewing this is so liberating

You dont bandage up, you let your wounds breathe

You look at them like theyre tattoos of me

And when we walk away both covered in blood

I cant help but notice its the shade of love

And if these bites were to get infected

Grow black and green with pus from the scab

Through this sickness I feel more connected

You'll chew bits of me as a kind of rehab

Youre feeling better but now youre addicted too

The urge for flesh growing within you

So I lay back, and expose my tender spots

For you to take from me in ways that keep us soft

This obsession has grown more and more

Till we are 2 skeletons laid out on the floor

No explanation, no help from above

No skin left but smiling cause we are in love
