Concave

ripping flesh and coughing drops
surround the young blood's remnants.
He heaves and coughs up lung-fulls of
the springy draining blood drops
while I
lick away my pain
he forgets
I
licked away his, in healing
antiseptic wavers,
did I let you faint
before you knew I had gone
away,
lost in dismay.
I still so think of it
denying, I swear
what the present has dealt me,
yet I am a demon......
and I swear I'll never get life's
benefits.
