sexts

i want to fuck you but the ghosts

are still inside me.

i want to bury myself

in you.

i will name each

moan.

you’re an angel,

ride me.

i want you to

look at me

when you cum.

i'll stain your skirt, i'll feel

you from the inside out.

i love you, i love

you, i wish you were

her. i'll tie you

with ropes, draw

blood. i'll rip your hair out.

i remember your eyes

looking up while you choked.
