the last man standing

time stamped

Should you be the only one left to run.

I will make a fool of you.

My hearts dark and cold and in need of shelter.

But I only know mind games and heartbreak.

And it is you who will finish me, feed me to the lions
and have my carcass hidden away where the world is
too distracted to look.

That is what will become of me if I let myself become
 so nimble to your touches, if I let myself become
so vulnerable in the process.

I am scared and why shouldn’t I be.

Everything I’ve known dances with the devil and makes
games out of murder.

What else is there to salvage that’s left by my heart?
