I ate you whole
until all that was left
was your icy, black heart
It did not beat
or pound
It did not make a single sound
No blood rushed to it
and no blood rushed from it
My initials were carved into the side
White and glaring
Whiter than the heart you pretended to have
Whiter than the teeth in your mouth before I ripped them away
I left you only with gums
and nothing more
and nothing less
I carry your heart in my pocket
each day it becomes heavier
I bask in the sorrow
I bask in the shadows
where I watched you die
