The Lady Who Swallows Swords and the Town Drunk

The Lady Who Swallows Swords and the Town Drunk

You say you’re fragile

and I’m deranged.

I believe you.

I’ve got the scars, the marks,

the creeping, ever-present shallowness

in my big dumb smile.

You’ve got the bruises and

the scarves to cover them.

We’re the perfect pair.

Two freak shows.

Let me be your black widow

and we can devour each other

slowly.

C’mon.

It’s all we got.
