Thread your chilled fingers between my ribs,
cup your cold hands around my heart,
and squeeze.
I have a deathwish.
I want to bleed.

Swallow ice and let the sun warm my face.
Open my eyes,
sew my mouth shut,
plug my nose,
and watch me writhe.

Darling, you are beautiful
so helpless,
so hopeless.
Baby, let me catch your tears
so helpless,
so hopeless.
