Dark beauty

Is my unique flavor

I cannot adore you

Unless you carry the seed of my destruction

For one cannot bring me life

If they don’t also bear

The power of death

You wield the Plutonic scalpel

I yield to you

My belly

Excavate any organ of your choosing

My heart is yours to harvest

Would you let me

Do the same?

Can we trade hearts?

Let your heart beat in my chest

And mine in yours

For that is how I want to love —

Your death

means my heart

Stops beating

I am yours

In life and in death
