Phantoms

by Maria Kintner

You've left your bloody
fingerprints as a trail
for me to follow.
And even though you've wiped
your chin, the stains are left
for me to notice, no matter how
you claim to have appeased your hunger.
I cannot read your words
without wondering who fucked
them before me, and who's fucking them
afterwards.
I am full-bellied on your saccharin lies,
the pains they inflict on my
innards. Full to here, but you
think I should indulge in a bit more;
you have more stories to tell.
I've grown a nasty taste for pain,
so similar to your kisses -
I cannot tell the two apart.

I for one am glad you did bring it here, I like the way it feels. Very sharp.
