I carry a mark meant for us both,

Indulging, glutinous

In the asymmetry of attachment.

Claws imprinted, carved in your shoulder,

Remember me for faster sign in

Turn around — meet me here.

Soothed by false fables,

What radiates from me, suffocates you.

Your grief, a corset,

Phantom compression,

Although unraveled, smothering.
