bones

My heart is hungry

It aches with strong pains

In my chest down to my stomach.

My love is sick

It trembles and it hurts

It makes me weak, my chest starts to burn.

My bones are broken

When I walk they snap

Clickity-clacking through the night, with me I am bearing my broken bones .

The hunger in my heart grows

It feeds on the sickly meat of my love

My bones cave in and lock my love in a cage.

I can feel my heart now heavy

My love now empty

My bones still broken.

My heart has eaten.

My love has been nursed.

My bones are healed.

And I am no longer

The torn, sickly creature

I once was.
