Ribcages and other things

by S. Elizabeth

I remember how I was your ribcage;
how I strapped myself to your side,
pretended to be whole again and even
when I sucked you dry you wouldn't
pry me off.

A clever reminder of my own insecurities and co-dependence on a woman who sucked me dry (emotionally). Thank you for sharing
