Work Text:
i want you lying on your back
so i can pull your teeth out
one by one.
you look pretty like this,
your mouth swollen, your
gums bleeding blue blood.
they say red is the color of love.
i ask them why, then, blue is the warmest.
i line up your teeth
into a necklace,
like pearls around my neck.
my last memory of you.
i pull your smile back,
tear off the rest of your hair.
what i can't pull out i shave to your scalp.
i whisper into your mouth,
take care.
i'll say anything but goodbye.
take care,
i still ache for you.
i'm the one who kissed you last.
when you bleed for me,
blue blood spilling from your smile,
it's like you're kissing me again,
and i can't help but want you back.
