Blackest Lake

Here I lie, open-chested warrior
for all you said you wanted.
No point in treading water,
I’m drowning in your ocean.
How can I give my heart to another
when it still lies beating in your hands?
Warm blood trickling ‘twixt your fingers,
dripping with careless abandon
to form the blackest lake
that pulls me in
until there’s
nothing
left
.
