Crawling

Worms in your bones, throbbing in starvation

you opened my veins to let crimson blood flow

wounds too deep, healing incomplete

tunnel light love retreats as I crawl on all fours

bloody wrists leave a trail of crimson chills

Scraped hands and knees, oh please, oh please

elevate me from the pounding rain of my tears

replace my bones before they rot in the ground

bandage my wounds from your continuing abuse

I’m crawling back to you like a moth to light, but

I realize I’ve drowned in your seas too many times

worms in your bones, throbbing in starvation.
