My insides are mixed berries
tart and sweet, still healing.

I bleed wine to fill your cup.

Do you ever wonder
how I’m feeling?

You took with both hands.

I found comfort in your touch.
You hurt me when you hurt.
I told you, “No, it’s not too much.”

Now my voice is silenced,
Heartbeat like a fist within my chest.

I gave you every part of me
you asked for.

You didn’t care
about the rest.

Chew me up.
Spit me out.

Take all you need from me.
Pick your teeth
with my bones.

I just hope
I made you happy.
